It has been a solid start to the season for Athletic Bilbao this term, and they will be heavily favoured to continue their winning sequence when they host Las Palmas in La Liga on Wednesday.
There will be an interesting fight for European places in the Spanish top flight this term, with six realistic rivals in contention for a top four position. Athletic Bilbao are among the sides that are going under the radar, but they come into this match on Wednesday sitting just two points behind Atletico Madrid and three points behind Barcelona in the standings.
Bilbao have been consistent throughout the first half of the season this term, having won nine and drawn five of their opening 17 matches. That consistency has been evident over their last five fixtures, winning on three occasions and avoiding defeat in every fixture over that period. However, Bilbao will need to improve their midweek record this week after failing to win any of their last nine league matches played on a Wednesday.
It has also been an encouraging start to the Spanish competition this term for Las Palmas, as they already sit comfortably in the top half of the table. They come into this match after going three league matches without defeat, winning on two occasions over that period. Meanwhile, Las Palmas have suffered just one defeat in their last five.
The visitors will also take confidence from the fact that they recorded a 1-0 win on their last trip to the Basque country. However, they will be looking to win on two straight visits to the region for just the third time in their top-flight history on Wednesday.
Bilbao’s record in this fixture would be a concern, as they have won just twice in their last eleven matches against Las Palmas. However, in home matches, they have suffered just one defeat in eleven fixtures with their Spanish rivals.
The visitors have enjoyed a steady start to the season this term, but it is difficult to overlook the consistency that has been displayed by Bilbao so far this term. Therefore, we will be keeping faith with the home side to enhance their Champions League credentials.
