However, it can be stated that the guests from the southern Madrid suburbs bring the fifth-best defence of La Liga with them. The Basques, who for their part have not found it easy to score goals so far, are facing an endurance test.

Athletic Bilbao – Statistics & current form

Alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Athletic Bilbao is the only Spanish first division team to have been top notch without interruption since the top division was founded in 1928. With the success of these two clubs, the Basques can compete in the Copa del Rey, which has already been won 24 times.

Both the last national championship and the last Copa del Rey go back to 1984. Since then, the Leones have always been behind the two top teams. It was all the more balm for her soul to have secured the Supercopa de Espana with victories over those two clubs.

Three competitive victories in a row under Marcelino

Bilbao first beat Real Madrid 2-1 in the semi-finals before winning the final 3-2 against Barcelona after extra time. Judging by the fact that only six of the 18 games had previously been won in the league, which also cost coach Gaizka Garitano his job at the beginning of the new year, this triumph came literally from nowhere.

After all, the Leones lost their first competitive game under the new coach Marcelino with 2: 3 at home against the Catalans. Now, however, there are three competitive wins in a row, although the most recent 2-1 away win in Ibiza after 0-1 deficit was not very glamorous.

For seven league duels without a win against Getafe

The Basques are also still pending proof that the knot has also broken in league operations, where only the home win counts against Getafe. With this they would at least overtake the Azulones and could make up some ground in the La Liga table. At the moment, a sobering 13th place is on record.

Getafe – Statistics & current form

Getafe finished in a strong eighth place in the final table of La Liga at the end of the 2019/20 season. For the small club from the suburb in the south of the greater Madrid area, the upward trend of the last three years was confirmed.

Under coach Pepe Bordalás, who took over the Azulones (in German: the dark blues) in La Liga 2 in summer 2016 and immediately led them back to the top Spanish league via the playoffs, a single-digit place in the table was again available in the third first division year Beech.

Only 16 goals from 18 league games

Compared to that, the current eleventh place in the table is a bit sobering, although it can, of course, be stated that Getafe has up to two games less than most of the clubs before. In sixth place, where, for example, Real Sociedad are two more league games, are currently eight points missing.

If the Azulones not only win in Bilbao but also catch up in their catch-up game, another attack on Europe could ensue. But the small club undoubtedly has to increase its scoring. The offensive scored only 16 goals in 18 league games – the second weakest value in all of La Liga.

The fifth-best defence in La Liga

The fact that, despite an average of less than one goal per league game, they currently rank eleventh and the Azulones won six of their 18 league games, is more due to the excellent defence, which, conversely, hardly allowed anything. The only 18 goals conceded certify Getafe the fifth-best defence of La Liga.

It was only on Wednesday that the Azulones won at home against bottom group Huesca with a typically narrow result of 1-0. It is precisely such results that underline our tip that a maximum of one team should score at Athletic Bilbao against Getafe. There were goals on both sides with Getafe involved in only three of the last ten competitive games.

With the participation of the men from the south of Madrid, it is extremely rare that there are really many goals, which is why we don’t expect a peat festival in Bilbao either.
