On Sunday afternoon, Athletic Club travels to Andalusia to take on struggling Granada as the visitors look to continue their fine recent form.
Granada form guideThe home team is in 19th place in the Spanish top-flight table, having taken just seven points from their 15 matches in La Liga, four points from safety.
A recent 12-game winless run in La Liga, including three defeats and a draw, has hindered their chances of escaping the drop zone anytime soon.
A poor defence has played a significant role in their recent winless run in the Spanish top-flight, as they have conceded at least two goals in six of their last eight league outings.
Granada have even found home wins in short supply of late, as they are winless in five home games in La Liga, even if three of their previous four matches have produced draws.
Athletic Club form guideLos Leones head into this game in fine form after a 3-0 win at Cayon in the Copa del Rey made it seven games unbeaten in all competitions for Ernesto Valverde’s team.
When it comes to La Liga, they are unbeaten in five league games, having won three of their last four Liga matches. Athletic have certainly found their shooting boots of late, scoring at least two goals in four of their previous five matches.
The boys from Bilbao are well placed for a top-four challenge, as they are fifth-place in the table, trailing fourth-place Atletico by just three points.
Athletic’s recent away form has been slightly inconsistent. However, they have taken four points from tricky trips to Villarreal and Girona.
Their recent away games in La Liga have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine matches.
What am I backing?Granada are low on confidence, while Athletic are in good form. The bet I am backing is the away victory.
