Athletic Bilbao hosts Getafe in round 29 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, March 18th at Estadio San Mamés (Bilbao)
The last round turned out to be unsuccessful for Athletic Bilbao. The Lions lost to Betis in Sevilla (1-0) and missed the chance to get close to the European competition zone. I remind you that they are on the eighth line in the standings with 40 points in their assets. The gap to sixth place is already seven points. Traditionally, Athletic Bilbao is one of the most low-scoring teams in the Spanish championship. So far, the goal difference is 32-37. 17 matches ended with Under 2.5 goals scored. The Lions are historically strong at their native stadium. This season their statistics at Estadio San Mamés look like this: seven victories, two draws, and four defeats with a goal difference of 22-14.

Getafe hosted Valencia on March 12. The Blues were solid on the defensive and managed not to concede for the first time in four rounds. I remind you that the final whistle of the referee fixed a goalless draw. Getafe continues a streak without victories in the Spanish championship, which now amounts to five games (three draws and two defeats). Such results negatively affected the position of the team in the standings. At the moment, it is in 15th place with 28 points scored. The gap from the relegation zone is four points. As before, Getafe remains the only team in Spain that has not gained a single victory away: six draws and nine defeats with a goal difference of 7-19.
In the first round, Getafe and Athletic Bilbao played a very boring match, which ended without goals scored. Last season, the Basques confidently dealt with Getafe at Estadio San Mamés (5-1). With all due respect to Getafe, Athletic Bilbao is stronger at the moment. Moreover, the Lions always perform very well at home. And since they lost in the last round, now they will have double motivation. Getafe has not yet won a single away game. And I highly doubt that it will manage to do this now. Most likely, the men of Quique Flores will sit back on heels from the first minutes and will do everything in order not to concede. It is worth recognizing that they know how to defend their penalty area. Therefore, there is no reason to wait for a goal show from the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
