The final match in La Liga this weekend is staged on Monday. Athletic Bilbao will be heavily favoured in the betting to continue their excellent recent run of form, with a victory at Almeria potentially lifting them into the Champions League spots in the standings.
It has been a very reliable start to the 2023-24 season for Athletic Bilbao, and they are well in the mix to challenge for a European position this term. The Spanish side currently sits fifth in the standings, but they are just three points off Atletico Madrid. Bilbao also have an eight-point cushion over sixth-placed Real Sociedad.
The Spanish side comes into this match on the road after winning three of their last five matches, and they showed excellent character to bounce back to form in their previous match to end a two-game winless run. It was a dominant display by Bilbao last weekend, with Yuri Berchiche netting twice in a 4-0 home success against Mallorca. A similar performance will be expected on Monday.
It appears very hard to make a case for Almeria this weekend, as they continue to sit at the bottom of the standings after failing to win a single match this term. They have picked up just six points from their 23 matches this season, and they already look dead and buried after a 14-point gap has emerged between themselves and safety.
The hosts come into this round after suffering defeats in each of their last three matches, with their most recent loss coming against Valencia last Saturday. Almeria conceded twice inside the opening 23 minutes of that match, and they can ill-afford another slow start against Bilbao this Monday.
Bilbao boasts a staggering record in this fixture after winning eight of their last nine meetings with Almeria since the start of 2010. That includes victories in each of the last five. The previous meeting this term saw Bilbao land a 3-0 home victory in October.
It has been a disastrous season to this point for Almeria, and there is little hope that things will begin to improve this weekend. Bilbao looks the standout bet to win this fixture, and they could claim success by at least a two goal margin on the road.
