Athletic Bilbao – Eibar

Athletic Bilbao Eibar betting tipsAthletic Bilbao hosts Eibar in the sixth round of the Spanish La Liga as 1.55 – 1.60 odds favorites.

Bilbao could not have had a poorer start to the season … except the beating they gave Napoli in UCL playoff they were very poor … in Primera Bilbao is on 18th place now with 3 points in 5 matches and losing 4 of those matches, only 4 goals scored. Last round at San Mames Bilbao lost to Granada 1-0 and will meet again another not fancied team which is doing pretty well (Eibar). Despite the poor statistics and results Athletic remains a very good team and I can’t say they are in crisis, they also had some bad luck and I am sure they will recover. Gurpegi is the only absentee for Athletic Bilbao today.

Eibar sits on the 9th place in La Liga so far with 7 points in 5 rounds … pretty good statistics for the minnows, they played decent football. Last round they got a 1-1 home draw to Villareal. Eibar has a tea with good organization and capacity for effort but they have problems in attack, even managed to go scoreless against the worst defensive team in the league Deportivo La Coruna. Vila and del Moral will not play for Eibar today, also Abraham is a big doubt.

Even though Bilbao has a crucial UCL game coming up on Tuesday in Belarus, they have no choice but to focus on this match today and the coach said his team is 100% concentrated to get the win. I think Bilbao will win this after the latest losses, they are too good of a team to continue this bad run. I can see a clever performance from Athletic, being more careful at the back (after allowing to many goals), trying not to concede and pressing up front to get a goal over 90 minutes. Eibar is a decent side but nothing special, they did not have such a tough draw so far and with their not so good offense I think it’s a very good chance they will not score today at San Mames … which is usually a fortress for Athletic. So my tip will be Bilbao to win to nil … should be careful football from both teams with Bilbao eventually getting the goal and conserving the advantage and maybe adding another. Correct score prediction: Athletic Bilbao – Eibar 1-0.
