Athletic Bilbao take on the visitors Deportivo La Coruna in the round 22 match of Spanish LaLiga. The game will be played on Saturday, February 11th at Estadio San Mames (Bilbao).
Athletic Bilbao couldn’t offer any sort of battle to the Catalans last week and lost 0-3 at Camp Nou. That defeat ended three-match undefeated streak of Basque side. The team is currently ninth in the Primera standings with 32 points gained in 21 matches and have 26-25 goal difference. While away form of the team needs to be improved, home results of the team are quite impressive as Bilbao side took 24 points in 11 games at own turf with 19-11 goal difference and recording only one defeat at own stadium this season.

Deportivo also recorded defeat last week, losing to Eibar on the road, 1-3. That defeat ended seven-match streak without losses that started in the middle of December. The team played five matches in 2017 before voyage to Eibar and recorded five draws. The visiting side is currently 15th in the league with 19 points taken. Performance on the road is quite poor as Deportivo took only five points in 11 games with 10 goals scored and 22 allowed with no victories recorded in matches at opponents’ stadiums.
Athletic are undefeated in their recent four head-to-heads with Deportivo and taking wins in recent two of them. Basque side are strong at own turf and we can expect them to take third win in a row over La Coruna side, who simply don’t know how to battle on the road this season.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win.
