Full Analysis

Athletic Bilbao will face Vallecano at San Mamés in a crucial La Liga match this weekend. Both teams are eager to secure points as the season progresses, with Bilbao boasting strong form at home. They have won 8 of their 15 home games this season, with only one loss. They’ve scored 27 goals and conceded just 9. Vallecano, however, has been less effective on the road, with only 5 wins from 15 away matches, the same number of losses, and a goal difference of 13 scored and 12 conceded.

Looking deeper into their recent form, Bilbao has been particularly strong at home, with 2 wins and 3 draws in their last 5 matches. In addition, Bilbao’s defense has been impressive, keeping clean sheets in 3 out of their last 5 home games. In contrast, Vallecano’s recent 0-4 loss to Espanyol highlights their struggles away from home, particularly defensively. Despite their defensive weaknesses, Vallecano has shown the ability to score in most of their away games, but Bilbao’s strong home defense, having conceded only 2 goals in their last 5 home matches, gives them a clear advantage.

Given Bilbao’s solid home form and Vallecano’s recent struggles on the road, a home victory seems the most likely outcome.

Tip: Athletic Bilbao to win, with a probability of 65%.

Good luck
