Getafe take on the visitors Athletic Bilbao in the round 34 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, April 3rd at Coliseum (Getafe).
Getafe can clearly count this season as a positive one. The team from the province of Madrid comfortably sits in the middle of the table throughout the championship, at a decent distance from the relegation zone. Essentially, the team has been playing purely for their enjoyment all season, without fighting for high positions or survival. Currently, the Dark Blues occupy the tenth position in La Liga. Moreover, this season Getafe are not the same team with an anti-football style that we knew before. Under Jose Bordalas, Getafe in the current La Liga scores quite a few goals, attacks well, and allows others to attack. In the last two matches, Getafe played away: a draw with Real Sociedad (1-1) and a victory over Almeria (3-1).

In the first round in Bilbao, the local Basques and the Getafe players played an entertaining match, in which no winner was determined (a 2-2 draw). I believe that we can expect at least an exchange of precise shots this time as well. Athletic Bilbao are essentially just playing out the season too. In theory, it's possible to surpass Madrid's Atletico in the race for the Champions League zone in the remaining time, but in reality, the Lions understand that it's practically impossible. Moreover, it's unlikely that Ernesto Valverde's team will drop below the fifth place in the table; they would have to try hard for that. In any case, there's no point for the Basques to play defensively in the remaining matches. And they don't. In three consecutive La Liga matches involving the Basques, the bet Both teams to score has been successful: draws with Villarreal (1-1), Granada (1-1), and a loss to Atletico Madrid (1-3).
Essentially, neither team has any tournament motivation in the remaining matches; they have already achieved their minimum goals. Both Getafe and Athletic are simply waiting for the end of the season and their vacation. There's no moral pressure on them for results. Therefore, both the Basques and the City team can afford to play for their pleasure in the remaining La Liga matches, delighting the audience with bright, beautiful, open football. Why not? Based on this, I consider it a sin to overlook the Both teams to score bet with a fantastic odds higher than two in such a situation. Personally, I believe in a goal exchange here and expect at least one precise shot from each team.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
