Athletic Club Espanyol betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Theoretically, Athletic Bilbao has all the conditions to win all three points in this match, but they’re going through a very doubtful stage of the season. On the other hand, Espanyol starts motivated for this match due to the triumph in the last fixture, but acts as a visiting team, that is, it’s expectable they’ll use a more cautious strategy. Note that the two teams have very high quality in the defensive sector. So, and given these factors, betting for a low goal match is the best option.

Preview
Athletic Club and Espanyol meet at San Mamés Barria, in a match for the 11th round of the Primera División. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 6 head‑to‑heads they won 3, tied 2 and lost 1. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primera División, on 08‑03‑2019, they tied (1‑1). Raúl García (80' ) scored for Athletic Club and F. Ferreyra (9' ) for Espanyol. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 10th and 19th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 6th best team in home matches and the 5th best in away matches.

Analysis Athletic Club

The home team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 13 points won, after 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Real Valladolid, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Atlético Madrid, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 3 points in away matches, with 2 goals scored and 5 conceded, against 10 points won at their stadium, with 6 goals scored and 2 conceded. For the league, Athletic Club won 10 points out of 15 possible points, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 5 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 matches. 15 of their last 22 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches.

Athletic Bilbao comes for this match after a 2-0 loss at Atletico Madrid, adding the fifth consecutive match without a win in this Spanish championship. In this match against Espanyol, the coach Gaizka Garitano should privilege the maintenance of the ball possession and the organized attacks, especially through the right flank. At the individual level, we highlight midfielder Raúl García, who is very strong at time to finish: he has 4 scored goals in the championship. On the other hand, right lateral defender Ander Capa is the player with the most assists: 3 in total. Out of this match is Beñat due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Unai Simon, Íñigo Martínez, Yuri, Capa, Yeray, Raúl García, Unai López, Íñigo Córdoba, Dani García, Muniain, Williams.
Coach: M. García Toral.

Analysis Espanyol

The away team is currently in the 19th position of the league, with 8 points won, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Villarreal, by (0‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Levante, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 8 points in away matches and 0 at their stadium, with 1 goal scored and 11 goals conceded at home, against 4 goals scored and 4 goals conceded in away matches. In the last 5 away league matches Espanyol has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 8 points out of 15 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 10 matches for the Primera División, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 2 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 10 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Espanyol comes for this match after a 0-1 win away at Levante Arena, returning to triumphs after five straight matches without a win in the championship: the only goal of the team was signed by Bernardo Espinosa. For acting away, the coach Pablo Machín must keep a more backward team, waiting for the opponent in his defensive midfield. Midfielder Sergi Darder deserves all the prominence in this Espanyol, the player responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. List of unavailable players due to injuries: Javi Puado, Jonathan Calleri and Pablo Piatti.

Confirmed Lineup: Diego López, Bernardo Espinosa, Naldo, Victor Gómez Perea, David López, Dídac Vila, Marc Roca, Matías Vargas, Darder, Víctor Sánchez, Víctor Campuzano.
Coach: L. Ramis Monfort.
