Athletic Club vs Las Palmas Preview and Team News

Athletic Club Team News

Athletic Club Bilbao, ranked fourth in the Spanish La Liga table, will host Las Palmas in the 33rd round of the competition. The home team seem to have covered all their bases, and will have an advantage over their opponents in this encounter. 

However, Bilbao have currently scored 5 goals in their last 5 matches, and if this poor streak continues in front of goal, they can bid their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season goodbye.

Still, there is a lot of hope left for them, and one expects their attacking unit to come out with the intention to lambast the Las Palmas defenders in this game. All that Bilbao need is consistency at this stage of the league. 

An injury to Nico Williams will slow their assault down, but Bilbao need to find others in the team who are willing to take up the responsibility of picking up all three points on offer against Las Palmas. Bilbao will hope that they are able to climb up the league table with a few wins on the trot.

Las Palmas Team News

Las Palmas, who are battling relegation in La Liga this season, will want to make sure that they do not drop any further points and complicate the process of staying in the division. 

However, Benito is a doubtful starter in this game with a thigh injury and Jasper Cilessen has complained of stomach issues after a knock. Kirian Rodriguez has picked up a virus and is likely to be ruled out of this game as well. Javier Muñoz has been suspended.

Currently, Las Palmas have won just two out of their last five matches, and this is bound to shatter their confidence somewhat. 

Their attacking unit has been just slightly above average, as can be seen by the fact that they have scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches. Their defenders have been rather poor too, and they haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last five outings either. 

Goalkeeper Cillessen is ranked 3rd in saves per match in the competition (3.5), and his absence will be felt heavily.

Las Palmas predicted lineup vs Athletic Club (4-3-3): Horkas; Mármol, Suárez, McKenna, Rozada; Bajcetic, Campaña, Esugo; Moleiro, McBurnie, Silva.

Athletic Club vs Las Palmas Prediction

• Pick: Athletic Club to win
• Odds: 1.28 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Athletic Club vs Las Palmas

Athletic are much stronger than their opponents, both on paper and in form, and we expect them to coast comfortably in this match. 

Las Palmas’ defenders have been awful of late, and we do not expect them to withstand any of the pressure being sent their way by the Athletic attackers. 

Athletic have also won four out of the nine matches recorded between these teams in the past, while Las Palmas have won just two. Athletic also beat Las Palmas 3-2 in the reverse fixture played earlier this season, in September 2024.

Athletic Club vs Las Palmas Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Total over 2 goals
• Odds: 1.28 (22Bet)

We expect to see a total of over 2 goals in this game, given the standard of attackers in the home team’s arsenal. They are known to torment the hapless Las Palmas defenders a lot, and one can expect this to translate into a flurry of goals. 

Athletic like to play with a wide formation in which their wingers and fullbacks are utilised when they have the ball. 

Las Palmas, however, are known for their possession-based tactics, and this might go against the grain in this match since Athletic’s pressing skills are highly known. The home team will have a major say in front of the goal in this match.
