Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe CF Prediction 18 March 2022

This Friday, Bilbao will host the opening match of the twenty-ninth round of La Liga between Athletic and Getafe.

Having earned 40 points with a goal difference of 32:27, Athletic have settled comfortably in eighth position with little prospect of finishing in the European Cup zone. The Basques perform well at their home arena, where they recently crushed Real Sociedad, 4:0, and Levante, 3:1. Away, there were defeats from Mallorca (2:3), Barcelona (0:4) and Betis (0:1).

Getafe have been on a long losing streak, as evidenced by their confrontations with Atlético (3:4), Cadiz (1:1), Alaves (2:2), Espanyol (0:2) and Valencia (0:0). Unsurprisingly, Azulones fell back to fifteenth with 28 points, a 26:32 goal stat and just four points clear of the relegation zone.

In the current campaign, Getafe have not yet won away, while Athletic are a purely home team. In our opinion, the hosts will realize their superiority in class and will confirm all the pre-match handouts.
