Athletic Bilbao – Villarreal. Alexander Vishnevskiy’s prediction

Athletic Bilbao against Villarreal will be the most interesting match of this weekend in Spain. Both teams have hopes to reach the Champions league or even Europa league spot. Villarreal are fourth and Athletic Bilbao – sixth in the table. They both are having a good season, showing clever attacking football. That’s why we can expect a lot of goals in the upcoming game. Usually, these teams score a lot. The last three out of four games between Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao have ended with home team wins wherever the game was held. And there were, at least, four goals in those games. I don’t want to take a risk and my bet is – both teams to score.

Athletic Bilbao are playing at home so they are the obvious favourite. They played quite solid last time. Villarreal have a strong attack but their last match was poor. They must improve the attacking statistics with their skillful forwards Roberto Soldado and Christian Bakambu. Soldado is showing himself as a playmaker with a lot of assists this season. And I want to mention that left midfielder Denis Suarez, one of the best Villarreal players during this season. He will have a lot of free space in the upcoming game because Athletic Bilbao right-back Marcos is suspended. This is a huge blow for the home team. There will be a lot of danger from the left side of Villarreal. The manager of the home team should pay attention to this, so we can expect some movement towards another wing from Villarreal. Anyway, the game is going to have a lot of goals. We can go for both teams to score at 2.00 with William Hill. I see value in that.
