Athletic Bilbao take on the visitors Villarreal in the round 12 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, November 20th at San Mames, Bilbao.
Athletic aren’t in their best conditions as they’ve won only one out of their last five matches in Spanish Primera. The team is unable to win in three games in row, losing once to Real Madrid, 1-2, and drawing two matches with Osasuna, 1-1, and Espanyol, 0-0. Despite quite poor streak, Athletic are still high in the league on seventh place with 17 points gained in 11 matches and they are close to top-four. Athletic are strong at home, avoiding defeats in matches at San Mames since the end of August.

Villarreal are having another excellent season and currently sit on the third place in the league with 22 points gained in 11 matches. The team could’ve count on more if it was for unexpected 1-2 loss to Eibar on matchday 10. The team is solid in defense as usually, allowing only seven goals in 11 matches. At the same time, the team aren’t that great in matches on the goad, taking only one win in five games at opponents’ stadiums with three draws and one defeat, the only loss they recorded so far in Primera 2016/17.
Athletic are undefeated in their matches against Villarreal at home stadium since 2011, for five matches in a row. Considering consistent results of Basque sire at own turf and average results of Villarreal on the road we can expect the hosts to prevail in the match and be closer to another league win.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
