Team News

Athletic Club
Girona
  • Athletic Club could be without up to three of their key first team players on Monday night. Aitor Paredes is out with a leg injury, while Oihan Sancet and Gorka Guruzeta will be assessed over the weekend.
  • Asier Villalibre could get his first start of the season up front if Guruzeta is unavailable.
  • Benat Prados and Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta should continue in the double pivot.
  • Yangel Herrera and Daley Blind return from their suspensions and will be available on Monday evening.
  • Yan Couto is suspended, though, and will sit out.
  • Artem Dovbyk is a doubt for this fixture following some physical discomfort picked up in the 4-0 loss against Madrid.

Prediction

  • Athletic Club welcome Girona to the Basque country on Monday evening for an important fixture at the top end of the La Liga table. 10 points separate the two with Girona in second and Bilbao in fifth, but a stalemate 0-0 draw was the outcome of the reverse fixture back in November.
  • Girona, now five points adrift of Real Madrid at the summit of the table, haven't scored a goal in two matches, a concerning sign that could be indicative of a slight burnout in the squad.
  • Athletic Club have only lost one game at home this season, coming against Real Madrid. Expect them to be defensively solid in this one despite the absence of Dani Vivian. A draw is a likely outcome here.

  • Guruzeta +162 / Dovbyk +180 To Score Anytime

  • Bilbao is too aggressive at home ground I think they will win

  • @watfordAlbert without their 3 key players i doubt it.

  • Over 4 cards @1.83. There are not a lot of goals when bilbao plays, however, there are a lot of cards. Over 4.5 cards has hit in 4 of bibao’s last 5 games.

  • 3:1

  • BTTS

  • @SHAQORDRAW btts has only hit in 2 out of bibao’s last 12 league games. although it’s worth mentioning btts hit in their last meeting vs girona.

  • @greysonmb good observation
