Ath Bilbao vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction & Tips
Until the last matchday, the best defence in La Liga belonged to ‘Atletico’, but now ‘Athletic’ has equalised with them on this indicator, both teams have conceded 24 goals. This result of the Basques was possible thanks to an unbeaten run of four matches in the championship, in which they beat ‘Sevilla’ (1-0) and drew three times.
Of special mention are the last two matches, where ‘Athletic’ drew 0-0 with ‘Osasuna’ and ‘Villarreal’. Despite this, the team maintains the fourth position in the table, although the chasing team is already close, with a difference of only six points. In the last 21 La Liga matches, the Basques have suffered only one defeat, achieving 10 wins and 10 draws.
The Madrid side experienced a real shock on the last matchday, losing at their home stadium to Espanyol by a heavy score of 0-4. The last time the team suffered such a heavy defeat in La Liga was in May last year, and at home they lost in this manner for the last time in 2022.
Overall, the club has just one win in their last seven Primera Division matches, with two draws and four defeats to add to that. Due to this series of failures, Iñigo Pérez’s charges have dropped to ninth place in the standings, already eight points behind the teams in the European competition zone.
