Latest football match prediction: Getafe vs Athletic Bilbao

After 30 rounds, Getafe were in 11th place with 39 points, just two points behind the top eight teams, harboring hopes of securing a European cup qualification spot.

However, that dream has vanished after a string of poor performances, as they lost three consecutive matches and failed to score a single goal in their last four games.

Following their 1-3 defeat to Las Palmas, Getafe went on to lose 0-1 in three consecutive matches against Espanyol, Real Madrid, and Rayo Vallecano, before being thrashed 3-0 by Valencia – the former club of coach Jose Bordalas – last Saturday.

Although no longer competing for European qualification, Getafe (currently 13th) is still in a relatively safe position in the relegation battle, being 5 points ahead of the relegation zone with 3 matches remaining, against Athletic Bilbao, Mallorca and Celta Vigo.

Getafe fans are hoping for a positive performance from their team at home next Thursday, especially considering they have only won 1 of their last 8 home games in La Liga (2 draws, 5 losses).

However, their recent head-to-head record against Athletic Bilbao is not very good: Getafe have not won in their last 8 meetings since their 2-0 away win in February 2020 (7 draws, 2 losses).

Athletic Bilbao is now focusing all its attention on securing a Champions League spot, after their dream of reaching the Europa League final at home in San Mames was shattered by Manchester United last week.

Despite being defeated 1-4 in the second leg and losing 1-7 on aggregate, Athletic showed resilience by coming back with a narrow 1-0 victory over Alaves in the Basque derby on Sunday. A 71st-minute own goal by Manu Sanchez helped them maintain their position in the top four.

With 64 points after 35 rounds, Athletic are currently fourth, three points ahead of Villarreal and six points clear of Real Betis in sixth place. Their final three matches are against Getafe, Valencia, and Barcelona.

Athletic are considered the favorites in their clash with Getafe, but their recent away form has been unconvincing, winning only 1 of their last 7 away games in La Liga (4 draws, 2 losses).

Nevertheless, they still have sweet memories from their most recent trip to the Coliseum in May 2024, when Inaki Williams scored a brace to help Bilbao win 2-0 – their first away victory against Getafe since January 2016.
