Ath Bilbao vs Getafe prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-10-24 16:30.
[p]Athletic Bilbao return to San Mamés looking to extend their unbeaten run and close the gap on the European spots, while Getafe arrive in Bilbao desperate to halt a worrying slide down the La Liga table.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After a disjointed start to the season, Athletic are quietly gathering momentum, posting a three-match unbeaten run in all competitions (W1, D2) and they’re now looking towards the divisionâs European places. They followed up last week’s 0-0 La Liga draw with a 3-1 Champions League victory at home to QarabaÄ in midweek, which does mean they’ve had substantially less time to prepare for this clash than their opponents. That certainly won’t deter them too much though, as just three defeats across their last 42 home league matches (W26, D13) highlights how strong they tend to be here. Â [/p]
[p]Early-season optimism has faded quickly for Getafe, who began the campaign brightly with three wins in four (L1), but are now winless in five La Liga matches (D2, L3). They have also lost their last three away games, but can perhaps head into this clash with a little confidence after frustrating league leaders Real Madrid in a narrow 1-0 defeat, despite having two men sent off. Further confidence could be taken from the fact that theyâve won their last two La Liga away games against Basque clubs, keeping a clean sheet on both occasions. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Athletic are unbeaten in their last ten La Liga meetings with Getafe (W3, D7) – their longest undefeated streak against the Azulones. Getafe have drawn more matches (18) and more away matches (eight) with Athletic than against any other opponent.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Athletic have conceded exactly one goal in four of their past five competitive home matches. [/p]
[p]Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde has gone 22 La Liga games without defeat against Getafe (W17, D5).[/p]
[p]Only Sevilla (29) have picked up more La Liga yellow cards than Getafe (24) coming into the round. [/p]
[p]Getafe have conceded 2+ goals in three successive away league matches. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Often pushing his luck with the referee of late, Athleticâs Ăñigo Ruiz de Galarreta is hoping to avoid a third successive La Liga game in which heâs booked. Borja Mayoral scored in his last appearance against Osasuna, but has faced Getafe the most times in the Spanish top flight (10) without scoring. [/p]
[p]Key Athletic attacker Iñaki Williams could be a big miss in this one, after being forced off in the first half of Wednesdayâs win. Their respective red cards against Real mean Getafeâs Allan Nyom and Ălex Sancris wonât feature here. [/p]
