🔥 Our Hot tip

Under 1.5 total goals

Both sides have scored a total of four goals across their last 10 matches combined, and yet another low-scoring .encounter is on the books.

While Getafe seek to confirm their spot next season in the top-flight with a win, Athletic Club approach Thursday’s clash at the Coliseum with everything to play for – a victory could solidify their top-four ambitions as the Basque side chase UEFA Champions League qualification.

Getafe vs Athletic Club prediction: Back Bilbao to get rolling

Key stats

  • Getafe are on a five-game losing streak, failing to score in each of their last four defeats.
  • The Azulones have conceded nine and scored just one goal in their last five outings.
  • Athletic Club are unbeaten in their last three league games, with a clean sheet in each (W2, D1).
  • The visitors have lost just one of their last 10 away games against the Madrid natives.

Correct score prediction: Getafe 0-1 Athletic Club

Getafe disastrous form continues as they risk setting an unwanted club record – five consecutive scoreless games for the first time in over four years. With their season all but over, the Azulones face a resurgent Athletic Club side after their hard-fought but lucky Basque derby triumph against Deportivo Alaves. Expect Ernesto Valverde’s Champions League chasers to add to their momentum with a handful of games remaining.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Clear away favourites

  • HOME: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
  • DRAW: 17/10 (2.70) – 37%
  • AWAY: 8/5 (2.60) – 38.4%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Jose Bordalas has struggled to navigate Getafe’s season, with their European qualification hopes in the dust following a shambolic streak of five losses. Things are not expected to get better anytime soon, as bookmakers back Getafe with odds of 23/10 (3.30) – a minority win probability of 30.3%.

The Lions, however, look determined to end their campaign on a positive note after their Europa League elimination at the hands of Manchester United. Although Bilbao’s last five trips across all competitions produced no triumphs, they remain heavy favourites with odds of 8/5 (2.60) – 38.4% probability of victory.

Getafe preview: Safety first

A win would mathematically secure the Azulones’ top-flight status, sitting five points above the drop zone with three rounds remaining. However, Bordalas faces defensive headaches with both Djene and Juan Berrocal suspended, while Juanmi’s fitness is questionable.

Predicted lineup: Soria (GK), Iglesias, Alderete, Duarte, Rico Salguero, Federico, Milla, Bernat, Uche, Terrats & Mayoral

Athletic Club preview: Out to solidify top four ambitions

The visitors arrive determined to end their away drought, winless on the road since their mid-March triumph at Sevilla. Valverde’s selection options remain limited though, with the influential Williams brothers – Inaki and Nico – still unavailable, while midfielder Benat Prados also sits out of this clash.

Predicted lineup: Simon (GK), Gorosabel, Alvarez, Vivian, Berchiche, Inigo Ruiz, Jauregizar, Olabarrieta, Gomez, Berenguer & Sannadi

Player to watch: Oihan Sancet

Expected to lead the front line once again after playing just 23 minutes against Alaves, Sancet possesses the charm to make a difference.

The 25-year-old has been fantastic this season for the Basque side with 15 La Liga goals in 26 games – one of those strikes arriving as the opener in the reverse 1-1 fixture at San Mames.
