La Liga
Athletic, who finished fourth last season, started the new campaign with a win. They faced resistance, but managed to defeat Sevilla 3-2 at home, where it is extremely difficult to lose and only Barcelona and Atletico managed to leave with a victory from the home team's stadium last season. The two goals conceded are still somewhat atypical, as Athletic was the team with the fewest goals conceded in La Liga.
Rayo Vallecano finished eighth and had a decent campaign, and they also started the new one promisingly with a 3-1 win at Girona. After winning their last two visits last season, Rayo now has a chance to do something they have never done before, namely win four consecutive away games in La Liga. However, it will be quite difficult against Bilbao, as they have lost their last three visits here.
Prediction: +1.5 AH for Rayo VallecanoAthletic Bilbao may win the match, but Rayo shows once again that they can be a tricky opponent. I think that a potential victory for the hosts may not be by more than one goal difference.
