Friday night football in Primera Division, as Cordoba hosts Athletic Bilbao in the 33rd round of the Spanish La Liga.
Cordoba is coming after a surprising 0-0 draw in Villarreal … only their 2nd point in the last 13 matches! Cordoba’s horrible run did not give them much chances at El Madrigal, but somehow they pulled off the upset. However they took advantage of the fact that Villarreal was also in horrible form … and even so Cordoba clearly did not deserve the point. Villarreal could have (should have?) won 2-0 or 3-0. Hosts are virtually relegated and have nothing left to fight for, looked a little bit low in morale and fighting spirit in some of the last matches after they fought so hard so far. Bouzon and Garcia Freire are unavailable for Cordoba … Vico and Lopez are questionable.

Athletic Bilbao ended a run of 3 matches without a win with a comprehensive 4-0 win vs. Getafe last round … it wasn’t a surprise, because Athletic is in excellent form. Visitors won 6 of the last 9 matches in Primera Division and that run of 3 winless matches was in part due to very strong opponents (Sevilla, Valencia, Espanyol). Bilbao has nothing left to fight for, but that is not stopping them of playing great football. Their aim is to prepare in the best way for the Copa Del Rey final. Coach Ernesto Valverde has a healthy squad with the exception of young gun Iker Muniain, long term injury.
Cordoba is in really bad form, their morale is not the best and home court advantage hasn’t been of much help … Cordoba carrying a run of 6 consecutive losses at Estadio Nuevo Arcángel. Bilbao is playing some of the best football in Primera Division at the moment and they have a very well organized and disciplined team that should do the job vs. this Cordoba side … a side that looks completely unable to compete vs. this kind of opponent. My tip will be an Athletic Bilbao win … but just for a little extra safety I will take a cover with the -0,25 asian handicap. Correct score prediction: Cordoba – Athletic Bilbao 0-2.
Pick: Athletic Bilbao (-0,25 Asian Handicap)
