Girona vs Athletic Bilbao: La Liga, previews and betting tips

At the end of the 14th round of La Liga we can look forward to Girona vs Athletic Bilbao. The home team is still having a dream season and is currently ahead of giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. The Basque club has also hit excellent form this season, so it is shaping up to be an interesting spectacle.

Current form

The home team hasn’t lost a point in the last 5 rounds and is thus top of the table from recent matches. Looking even further back, Girona have only lost 3 points in their last 10 games, and that was against Real Madrid.

Athletic Bilbao have picked up 10 points in their last 5 games, having only failed to score fully in Barcelona (1: 0) and in a draw with Valencia.

Position in the table

As it is clear from the lines written above, Girona are currently at the top of the entire Spanish top flight. It even boasts a two-point lead over the White Ballet, at least that’s the case ahead of its clash with Cadiz on Sunday. Compared to last season, when Girona were in tenth place, this is a dream season so far.

Athletic Bilbao occupy fifth place in La Liga. The Basque club are 10 points behind their rivals and after last season, when they missed the Conference League by a single point, they are holding up well so far.

The biggest threats

The home team is mainly driven by the Ukrainian duo of Artem Dovbyk and Viktor Tsygankov. Dovbyk has scored 7 goals and assisted on 4 in the current season, making him one of the most productive players in the competition. Tsygankov supported his national teammate with 2 goals and 2 assists.

Gorka Guruzeta shines in a striped Bilbao jersey, the Spanish striker scored 6 goals. Iñaki Williams is also a traditional player with 5 goals and 3 assists. These two players in particular are the most frequent threats to the opponent’s goal.

Girona vs Athletic Bilbao betting tips

The home team enters the match as a slight favourite and they are in an excellent frame of mind. However, Bilbao has one advantage that the home team still has to “grow” to, and that is experience in these matches. In Girona’s favour, however, is the fact that they managed to beat the Basque team in both matches last season. And now it is even better.
