Getafe – Athletic Bilbao Preview

Getafe hosts Athletic Bilbao at the Coliseum in a match from the 36th round of La Liga. Here are our football tips today for this game. Are you ready to go?

Alongside Valladolid, Getafe are the team in the worst shape in Spain at the moment. Bordalas’ boys lost all of their last five games in the league. Because of this they fell to 13th place in the table with 39 points.

Last weekend Getafe conceded their 16th loss for the 2024/25 season. The team faced Valencia at the Mestalla, but played a bad game and suffered a 0-3 defeat.

What can Jose Bordalas change against Athletic on Thursday? Bertug Yildirim is an option for the starting eleven while Ismael Bekhoucha could also find himself in the line-up.

What Getafe shall improve is their performance in defense. Players like Domingos Duarte and Omar Alderete have to increase their level.

Athletic Bilbao are playing to keep the 4th place. The Basques are having three points advantage in front of the 5th Villarreal. This means that the team is very close to qualifying for the Champions League again.

Last weekend Ernesto Valverde’s team achieved another win. Athletic hosted Deportivo Alaves at the San Mames Barria and scored just once, but it was enough for a 1-0 win. Alaves’ Manu Sanchez had the bad luck to score himself an own goal in the middle of the second half.

Athletic are playing without the two Williams brothers – Inaki and Nico. They are recovering from injuries and that’s a bit of a problem for Ernesto Valverde. Let’s see if they will be ready to face Getafe on Thursday.

That’s the football tips today for the upcoming La Liga clash between Getafe and Athletic Bilbao. For the Basques this is a chance to win against a team that is in a very bad shape.
