Athletic Club will be looking to keep their feel-good recent form going this weekend when they return to league action to take on Villarreal. A victory for the home side could see them move back into the Champions League positions in the competition.
It has been an excellent season for Athletic Bilbao to this point, and their confidence should be sky high coming into this round of matches after recently winning the Copa del Rey. However, Bilbao will still have domestic league targets that they will be looking to achieve between now and the end of the season, as they will be hoping to finish the campaign in the Champions League spots.
Bilbao come into this round sitting fifth in the standings, and they trail Atletico Madrid by just two points. Therefore, a victory this weekend could see them end the round back into the top-four. However, they will need to rediscover their consistency after winning just two games across their last five outings in the Spanish top-flight.
Bet hereVillarreal will also have one eye on finishing the season in the European positions in Spain. The visitors come into this clash sitting tenth in the standings, but they have picked up victories in four of their last five matches in the competition. That run of form means that they are just eight points off the top seven positions in the league.
However, Villarreal will be looking to get their season back on track this weekend after suffering a rare defeat in the second half of the season in their most recent fixture. The Spanish side will need a positive outcome, as they could end the round in the bottom half if they suffer a defeat this weekend.
Bilbao have a very steady record in this fixture, winning two of the last three clashes between the teams. Meanwhile, they have suffered just one defeat in the last ten league meetings between the teams. Villarreal’s only win over that period was a 5-1 home success last season.
Bilbao look very good value in the betting to get their league form back on track this weekend. They should be very confident following their cup success last weekend, and their record against Villarreal is a massive bonus in their favour.
