Getafe vs Athletic Bilbao prediction
Getafe’s 3-1 victory at Almeria was not only their first away win of 2024 but also effectively confirmed the relegation of the home team from La Liga. The Azulones have generally been struggling with just one win in their previous 8 matches coming into this match. They however dominated the early exchanges to set the tone for the game and once Mason Greenwood gave them the deserved lead midway through the opening half, they never looked back. The win moved them to 10th on the table, just 5 points off of the European places with 5 games to go
Winless in 4 La Liga matches, Athletic Bilbao have seen their chances of sneaking into the top 4 equation fizzle away. They had a chance to cut the deficit when they travelled to face 4th-placed Atletico Madrid but the Basque team had no answers for the more determined Diego Simeone outfit who moved six points clear with a 3-1 win. s
This is a key game for both teams. Getafe sees an opportunity to move further up the standings and challenge for Europe while Bilbao will be digging in to arrest their terrible slide down a slippery slope. We anticipate a cagey game here and we are going for Under 2.5 Goals as our opening Getafe vs Athletic Bilbao prediction for this match

Prediction 2: DC Bilbao/Draw
With the exception of these two tough visits to Madrid that ended in losses to both Real and Atletico, Bilbao have generally been solid in La Liga this season. They are set to get their highest finish in years if they can keep their composure in these remaining matches.
Getafe have also vastly improved this season and will definitely give them a run for their money here.
It has been extremely tight whenever these teams meet making it a tough straight-up 1×2 call. That said, we trust Bilbao’s body of work this season and we expect that quality to come through for them here.
