Ath Bilbao vs Huesca Prediction & Betting tips
The Basque side leaves as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it possesses, which usually increases when it acts in the new San Mamés. For that reason and knowing that he did things right against Leganés in the debut, we believe he has what it takes to add his second consecutive win in the competition. Remember that the “oscenses” are just adjusting to the category, lacking hierarchy when making and marking. He paints to be an equal and fought duel, but favorable to the “Lions” for his greater individual quality.
Athletic Bilbao:
The “Lions” started the Santander League in a good way after beating 2-1 the always complicated Leganés. Yes, the team suffered more than expected, after getting the winning goal in the 48th minute of the second half. In terms of performance, the Basques proposed midfield forward and always tried to reach the goal. However, they were not fine in the development and were limited by the combative proposal of their rival. Now the goal of the squad is to add his second victory at home and add a cushion of important points for what is coming.
As a local in the new San Mamés, Athletic Bilbao recorded several results during the previous season, after winning 6 games, drawing another 8 and losing the remaining 5 that played. In terms of goals, scored 19 and gave 16, showing problems when developing and attacking. In defense if it was compact and competitive between the lines. For this presentation Berizzo technician is expected to use the best he has, since his objective is to recover the classic style of the “Lions” (direct and vertical facing the rival arch). Under his command it is expected that the Basques attack a lot by the bands and that they try to put pressure on their rival (Bielsian philosophy exposed in its maximum splendor).
Huesca:
The league start of the “oscenses” can be classified as positive, after beating 1-2 at Eibar in Ipurúa. The best of the team was seen in the first half, showing it by winning 0-2 clearly. Then came the discount in the second half, to finally maintain the lead until the final whistle. For this exit it is expected that the technician Leo Franco use a more conservative system, trying to retreat and then exit kickback. Of course, you must be careful when dialing, as your opponent will risk from the initial stage. The logic indicates that the DT repeat the 4-4-2 that he used in Basque territory, being vital that the flyers appear Musto, Gallar, Melero and Gómez. Up, Cucho and Longo will fight all the balls as they did last week.
As a visitor in the previous Liga2, Huesca registered acceptable scores after winning 8 matches, equaling another 6 and losing the remaining 7 that he played in this condition (30 goals scored and 26 transferred in his goal). If we review the statistics of these comparisons, we can conclude that the “oscenses” were competitive and complicated to overcome in this condition. Of course, something unbalanced between the lines, as they scored and yielded many goals.
Vascos and “Huesca” have never faced each other, since Huesca has just promoted to the first division. This will be the first duel that both teams will hold in the top flight of Spanish football.
