Athletic Bilbao vs Las Palmas Prediction & Betting tips
An interesting match on Friday is Athletic Bilbao and Las Palmas for a new date of the Santander League.
Athletic Bilbao :
In my opinion, the Basque painting tends to increase its level when it acts in the new San Mamés. For this reason and considering that you need the points to qualify for the next Europa League, we advise you to play a few euros to your simple win. Also, remember that the Sports Union is not known for marking well when it acts away from home.
Take into account that Athletic Bilbao comes from losing 3-1 against Villarreal as a visitor in the Madrigal, remaining with 50 points in the general table. The team cut a streak of 2 wins in a row, proving to be intense in its action but too irregular. His goal is to qualify for the next Europa League.
On the other hand do not forget that the Basque team has added very good results in the new San Mamés, becoming the third best place in the competition (11 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, managing to score 28 goals and yield 15 on their fence ). He has won 4 wins in his last 5 home appearances, losing only 1-2 against Real Madrid.
Las Palmas :
Continuing with the analysis you must know that Las Palmas is well into this game after beating 4-1 to Betis and add 38 points in the general table. The team cut a streak of 2 losses in a row, moving away from the downhill and struggling to close the season in the best way. It remains an offensive but irregular set at the time of scoring.
To conclude, we can tell you that the Unión Deportiva has added a few results away from home, with 1 victory, 3 equal and 11 total drops (19 goals in favor and 37 conceded on their fence). He has lost his last 3 outs consecutively, stealing only 1 point to Real Madrid in the Bernabéu (tie 3-3).
After all this I play for a victory of the local box because of the following reasons: First because Athletic Bilbao is a compact and competitive team when it acts in the new San Mamés, standing out for managing the times and being intense before its people. Second because the Basques have reaped a lot of victories in their stadium, becoming the third best team in this condition (11 wins in 16 appearances). And third because Las Palmas is one of the worst visitors of the competition, being known for failing too much in defense (37 goals received in 15 games away from home). Faced with this reality and knowing that he has lost his last three league starts, we believe that the Valverde squad can win even if it is for a goal difference.
