Girona welcome the visitors Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish La Liga – Round 29. The match will be held on Friday, March, 29th, at the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).
It seems the hosting Girona have completely bounced back after their 10-round streak wherein they attained only 4 points and lost in 6 encounters. In the last round, the team managed to beat Leganes away, though before, they conceded to Valencia at home; earlier, they drawed once and gained 2 wins on the road.

In the last 15 clashes, the visiting Athletic Bilbao conceded only twice, to Valencia and Real Sociedad. Now they sit 9th in the table, running 1 line and 1 point ahead of the Sociedad. The team are only 6 points off the Europa League spots, and if they keep up playing like they do now, this handicap can be covered within the remaining 10 rounds.
As mentioned above, the hosts on the day picked up their 2 latest wins in outings, whereas of 14 home fixtures, they won only 2 – clashing with the third-last Celta and the second-last Rayo Vallecano. Girona’s last victory on their soil goes back to October 2018. Even now, when the team’s performance has been improving (they gained 3 wins in 5 recent rounds, whereas overall, they ended victors in only 8 matches of 28 – so, the progress is obvious), they keep up losing points at home, as they registered a draw and a loss lately.
The guests’ run is consistent. They count only 2 defeats in 4 latest months. The team are not travel-shy. Indeed, they conceded to Valencia in the last round, also they were defeated by Espanyol, Sociedad, Levante, and Atletico Madrid; but they did not lose in 8 of 13 outings.
2 of the 3 opponents’ head-to-heads saw Athletic’s wins. Considering all the above, it is wise to assume that the visitors won’t lose at least in the match concerned.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win or Draw.
