Malaga take on the visitors Athletic Bilbao at "La Rosaleda" in the gameweek six of the Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, September 23rd.
This season "Boquerones" perform like the LaLiga 2 club, not like a team representing the Spanish elite football division. Malaga have lost all five clashes of this season's LaLiga with 1:11 aggregated score. For the last week the team was beaten twice: 0:1 by Atletico Madrid and then thrashed 0:5 by Valencia. "Boquerones" haven't scored a single goal for 222 minutes of football already. As a result, the settles on the deserved last place in the elite division table with zero points gained and 1-11 goal difference.

Athletic Bilbao made a strong start in the new season, playing successfully both in the Eurocups and in the starting rounds of the LaLiga. However, the side had a disastrous last week, having lost two encounters in a row: 0:1 to Las Palmas and 1:2 to Atletico Madrid. With five LaLiga matchdays behind, the Basques occupy the eighth place in the standings with seven points earned and 4-3 goal difference. With the Eurocups fights taken into account, Athletic Bilbao conducted four games on the road in this season having gained two victories, a single draw and one defeat in them.
Athletic Bilbao have lost only one encounter out of seven recent head-to-heads of the rivals with three clashes having been finished in draws and three triumphs of the Basques. Taking into account a horrible competitive form of the hosts, I believe that the Basque side has a great opportunity to stop their unlucky run by taking points in the away battle.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
