Athletic Bilbao hosts Granada CF in round 15 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, November 26th at Estadio San Mamés (Bilbao)
Athletic Bilbao is now showing a clear decline. In general, Marcelino was expected to fight for a place in the European Cup zone in his first full season in Bilbao. This specialist is considered one of the most promising in Spain, and he confirmed this at his new club right away. Heading the Basques at the beginning of 2021, he immediately won the Super Cup with them. And Athletic Bilbao made it to the Copa del Rey final. In the new championship, the club really stepped up. But it alternates between successful segments and real failures. Now the Lions are on an unpleasant streak: they have not managed to win in four matches in a row (three draws and a defeat to Cadiz CF). There were hopes that Athletic would make good use of the almost 2-week break for the national teams' games. But even after it, the Basques failed to win. On November 19, they visited Levante, which is now in the relegation zone and has not won for a long time either. In general, it was an equal and boring game, which ended in a natural goalless draw.

Granada CF shows what negative effect the departure of a successful coach can have. In the spring, Diego Martinez Penas simply did not renew his contract, and, remarkably, now he is on a “sabbatical leave.” But he not only returned the Nasrids to the Spanish Primera. They managed to make it to the Europa League from the very outset. And they made an excellent way in this tournament — from qualifiers to relegation only from Manchester United in the quarterfinals. Perhaps Diego Martinez simply understood that he squeezed everything he could from the project. He was replaced by a seemingly sensible coach, Robert Moreno, who showed himself well as an interim coach of the national team during the long absence of Luis Enrique. However, his work at AS Monaco was not particularly successful. And under his management, Granada has fallen to the bottom of the standings. The Nasrids won only two times during a good streak of four rounds. But after that, they lost to Espanyol (2-0) and Real Madrid (1-4). Due to such results, they dropped to 17th place in the current standings. And 18th Elche, which is in the relegation zone, has the same number of points scored.
In the last 15 head-to-head matches, the away side managed to win only twice. And since 2017, the team that played at home has invariably won in seven games in a row. Bookmakers are optimistic about Athletic Bilbao now. When and whom to beat, if not Granada at home? We bet that the Basques will finally be able to win.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win
