Almeria vs Athletic Bilbao Betting Tips &— Bilbao to Win

Almeria’s poor season shows scant evidence of getting better. Sitting at the bottom of La Liga, they go into Monday’s league match with a meager six points earned from 23 league games this season.

Almeria has surprisingly been unable to secure a win in their last 26 league games since May 2023, and have suffered losses in their latest three league matches. Despite this, Gaizka Garitano’s team has been able to achieve a draw in three of their last four games, one of which was a scoreless match against Girona, who are contending for the title. Nevertheless, they experienced a 3:0 defeat in their latest home game against Alaves.

Bilbao comes to the Power Horse Stadium in high spirits following an unexpected 1:0 victory against Atletico Madrid in the Copa Del Rey on Wednesday. The Basque team has managed to secure three wins out of their last four matches, which includes an impressive 4:2 triumph over Barcelona, also in the Copa Del Rey.

Currently only three points away from qualifying for the Champions League, Bilbao have only suffered one loss in their last six La Liga away matches (W2, D3, L1). They will likely view this match as one they are expected to win.

Bilbao has an impressive recent track record in this fixture, with Ernesto Valverde’s team securing ten victories and one draw in their last 11 encounters since 2009. Additionally, Los Leones managed a narrow 2:1 victory during their most recent visit to this venue in April of the previous year.

A likely tight contest, I expect Bilbao to have enough quality to claim a vital away victory against an Almeria side that cannot buy a win this season.
