Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca Prediction 02.02.2024

• Competition: LaLiga
• Date: 02.02.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Estadio San Mamés (Bilbao)

Ath Bilbao slipped from the TOP 4 after securing only a single point in their last two matches, a rank crucial for qualification in the Champions League. The Basque club now occupies the 5th position, trailing just 2 points behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. The streak of impressive results met its end, leaving Athletic Bilbao with the challenge of bouncing back from a few setbacks and regaining their momentum. A silver lining, however, is their victory against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, which pushed them into the semi-finals of the tournament.

Mallorca has only managed to secure 2 points from its last 4 matches and is once again battling to stay afloat. Its 4-point lead over Cadiz does not appear to be very secure, and they will need to secure many more wins in the upcoming games. During the earlier part of the season, they only succeeded in winning 3 matches. The remaining 11 points they have were obtained through a series of draws. Similar to their competitor in the upcoming match, Mallorca also made it to the Copa del Rey semi-finals after triumphing over Cadiz.

Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca pick: BILBAO TO WIN

The home team is striving to maintain their stellar form on their home ground. Their victories include their last seven matches in Bilbao, one of which was the ousting of Barcelona in the Cup competition. Despite a drop from fourth place, Athletic Bilbao still stands a good chance of finishing in the top four. Mallorca is struggling to stay afloat but will need to seek points against less formidable opponents. Their record at this stadium is poor, with only one win in their last ten matches, and it’s unlikely this will improve. Betting on a Bilbao win appears to be a sound choice.
