Ath Bilbao vs Marseille Prediction & Tips
Marseille at Velodrome is a fearsome opponent for everyone and it was also for an Athletic Bilbao who tried, but had to surrender to the fury of the Marseilles. It ended so 3-1 for the hosts, who now present themselves in Basque country with an important advantage. Athletics will need at least two goals (without suffering any) to pass the turn and reach the quarter-finals of a competition that has recently seen the protagonist. However, it serves a business, because the French are in great shape and can make money on the result of the “first half”, playing it on the go. A weapon that the Marseilles uses often and that often proved deadly to opponents.
The Athletic Bilbao makes the San Mames a strong point: it is no coincidence that in the league has lost only two games on the fourteen played so far.
On the Basque field only Atletico Madrid and Barcelona passed, while Real Madrid did not go beyond the draw (0-0).
The Ath Bilbao, however, has some problems even to win at home: there are seven draws (50% of the games played at San Mames are finished even).
And it is not so much a defensive, but offensive problem, because the Basques have only collected eight goals in the fourteen home games of Liga.
The fact is that Athletic Club scores with the dropper: only thirteen goals scored at home (against the sixteen scored away).
Marseille can afford to wait, close all the gates and leave again. The Athletic instead is forced to push on the accelerator and maybe to give spaces to the opponent.
