Athletic Bilbao vs Cadiz predictions for this Liga Santander clash on Friday at San Mamés Stadium. Athletic Bilbao, who are on a good unbeaten run, host Cadiz, who are on a long run without a win. Who will win the match?. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Athletic are starting to produce the results expected of a team of their size; the Basque side come into this game on the back of a valuable draw against arch-rivals Real Sociedad in the final minutes of the game.
Athletic are currently the ninth best home team, with three wins, one draw, and one defeat in five matches.
Athletic are also, along with Sevilla, the best team in terms of defence, having conceded just seven goals in 11 matches.
Cadiz
Cadiz’s situation is becoming increasingly worrying as they have now gone seven games in a row without a win.
Cadiz have also conceded the second most goals, with 19 in 11 games.
Cadiz got their first ever win against Athletic last season, but, in every other match, they have always lost against the Basque team.
We see Athletic as favourites for this match, for several reasons: firstly, because they are consistently playing near the top of their game; secondly, because they are playing at home and we know that San Mamés as a stadium puts a lot of pressure on the opponent; and thirdly because they are better than Cadiz in pretty much every category.
