Bilbao continue their push for a top five finish when they travel to Getafe for a Spanish La Liga fixture. 

The hosts are well below their best at the moment and have been on a downward spiral in the final weeks of the season. The visitors have done some good work lately and driven by a solid defence, should boost their chances of getting into Europe next season with an away win. 

Getafe Form 


Getafe have been on a downward spiral in the last few weeks and come into this clash with five defeats in the last six La Liga matches, losing 3-0 at Valencia in their previous fixture. That run has seen them drop just five points above the relegation zone and manager Jose Bordalas will be targeting an upturn in results.

It is a similar situation at home for Getafe, who have picked up just one win from their last eight matches in front of the fans. They are on a three-match losing run at Estadio Coliseum and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in their previous home fixture.
 
That defeat to Real Madrid highlights the lack of cutting edge in attack that has plagued Getafe lately as they have failed to score in their last four matches. Three of their last four fixtures have also produced under 1.5 goals in both halves.

Athletic Bilbao Form


Sitting fourth in the table, Athletic Bilbao have already secured one of the European places and are looking to lock up a top five finish. They are currently fourth in the table, six points above Real Betis, who are just outside the UEFA Champions League places.
 
Athletic Bilbao have been in good form lately and are unbeaten in eight of their last nine La Liga matches, claiming a 1-0 victory over Alaves in their previous fixture. Ernesto Valverde’s team have also looked decent on their travels and are unbeaten in 11 of their last 13 away matches.

At the heart of Athletic Bilbao’s recent good form is a sturdy defence that has kept clean sheets in six of their last eight La Liga matches. They have also kept clean sheets in three of their last four away matches, all of which have produced under 1.5 goals in both halves.
 

Head to Head


Athletic Bilbao have the upper hand in this fixture and are unbeaten in the last nine matches against Getafe. They were held to a 1-1 home draw in the reverse fixture back in November but claimed a 2-0 away victory on their last visit to Estadio Coliseum. 

Verdict

Getafe are low on confidence at the moment having lost five of their last six matches, including three straight defeats at home. Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand are unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches and should claim the upper hand here.
 
Both teams are not overly prolific and should maintain their trend if producing under 1.5 goals in both halves. With Getafe struggling for goals at the moment, Athletic Bilbao could set for a shutout having kept clean sheets in six of their last eight league matches.
