Why Bet on Athletic Club?

Under Ernesto Valverde, Athletic Club has emerged from mediocrity and is again fighting to qualify for European competitions next season. 

In their last match, they drew 0-0 away from Almeria, the last team in LaLiga. However, they are in fifth place with 46 points, two behind fourth, which is Atletico Madrid. 

The Bilbao team has based its campaign on its great defense, as it has only allowed 21 goals, the third-best in Spanish soccer, only surpassed by Real Madrid and, surprisingly, Las Palmas. 

It also has a decent goal-scoring quota, with 42 goals, being the fifth-best offensive team. In this area, Gorka Guruzeta, who has scored on ten occasions, stands out. He is followed by Iñaki Williams with eight. 

Another highlight of the Bilbao team is that they have only lost once at home, and that was on the first matchday against Real Madrid. Getafe and Valencia have only managed one point, the rest have lost at San Mamés. In addition, Athletic has a positive record against Girona at home, winning two games and losing one. 

Valverde’s injured players are two of their best players, as are Guruzeta, due to a muscular problem, and the quick Nico Williams. 

Why Bet on Girona?

Girona has been the great surprise of LaLiga, and its second place in 25 games confirms it, especially because it has a five-unit advantage over Barcelona. 

However, in the match that was supposed to give the blow on the table, they were humiliated 4-0 by Real Madrid, which counted with goals from Vinícius, Jude Bellingham in duplicate, and Rodrygo. 

The Casa Blanca got a five-unit advantage, which may not be definitive, but mentally may play against coach Míchel’s team. 

Girona has only lost twice this season, both times to Real Madrid. It has only drawn five matches and has 17 wins. It is the second-best visitor, with 27 points in 12 games. 

On the other hand, it is the best offense in the Spanish championship with 52, and the Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk is its best scorer, with 14 and five assists. 

Girona recovers the suspended Yangel Herrera and Daley Blind, but Jastin, David López, Casals, and Toni Villa are injured. 

Final Betting Analysis: Athletic Club vs. Girona

These two teams already played this season and drew 1-1. Tsygankov scored for Girona and Iñaki Williams for Athletic. The last time they played at San Mames, the visitors won 2-3, so the Catalans are now unbeaten in three games against the Basques. 

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Athletic Club as the favorite. The Moneyline for them shows 2.023, while Girona has 3.825, and the draw is at 3.845. 

Athletic have only lost once at home this season, they are a fearsome opponent, and Girona throughout this campaign has shown that they get up after a big blow, and that is why they will fight in Bilbao and get one point. 

Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 3.845, you will gain $384 for a total payout of $384.
