Preview

Athletic Bilbao

• Basques will target space behind full-backs
• Our Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe prediction reflects how Valverde’s tweaks have made Bilbao very difficult to break down at home, especially since the emergence of Oihan Sancet who has been the catalyst in the half-spaces for Bilbao’s transitions and creativity.

Getafe

• Getafe are three points adrift of Bilbao in 12th after claiming 11 points from their first nine games, but Pepe Bordalás’ side have dipped in form, going winless in their last five LaLiga assignments (D2, L3).
• Bordalás is a master at getting his teams to set up deep and compact and they have been extremely difficult to play through all season, which is worth considering in this Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe betting tips analysis.
