Bilbao’s poor performance against Leganes extended their winless streak to two in home matches. Ernesto Valverde’s side struggled significantly, and eventually, the game ended in a goalless draw.
One of the major problems for Athletic Club has been the conversion of chances. In the last five matches, they have only netted five goals which can become a concern in the following stages of the tournament when the opponents become stronger.
Despite losing against Besiktas, Bilbao will almost certainly finish in the top eight. With 16 points, they now sit third in the standings.
Ahead of the clash, Bilbao will be without Alvaro Djalo and Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta. Otherwise Ernesto Valverde will have an entire squad at his disposal.
Athletic Club predicted lineup vs Viktoria Plzeň (3-4-2-1): Aggirezabal; Berchiche, Paredes, Nunez; de Marcos, Prados Diaz, Vesga, Williams; Gomez, Williams; Guruzeta.
Plzeň’s victory against Anderlecht in the seventh round was a major boost, as the Czech club got a chance to finish in the top 16. Miroslav Koubek’s side held the initiative for the entire match and secured a 2-0 win.
Despite having a playoff berth already wrapped up, it is a pivotal game for Plzeň. However, given that they lost against Spanish teams in eight out of eleven games, the chances that they will secure a victory in this clash are slim.
The visitors might have a slight advantage as they still have not resumed the domestic championship after the winter break. In addition, they have lost only once in the last 13 games in European tournaments.
Viktoria Plzeň predicted lineup vs Athletic Club (4-2-3-1): Jedlicka; Dweh, Markovic, Jemelka, Cadu; Cerv, Kalvach; Havel, Vydra, Sulc; Adu.
Bet hereAfter a dismal performance against Leganes and a two-match winless home streak, Bilbao need to bounce back in front of their home crowd. As they are already qualified for the playoffs, this will be a principal match for the hosts.
Realization of chances in the offence has been an issue for the hosts, but they will approach this fixture in a different spirit.
Plzeň, on the other hand, have terrible stats against the Spanish opposition and they will struggle against Bilbao.
We think that Athletic Club are favourites in this match and they are likely to finish the group stage in a heightened mood. Our first pick here would be Bilbao to win.
Scoring, even against low-tier opponents, has been a worry for Bilbao. Ernesto Valverde mostly prefers a defensive style, and we won’t see a different system in the upcoming clash.
Plzeň under Miroslav Koubek are also solid as they can sit back effectively and build their gameplay on counterattacks. The Czech side won’t go hastily in the offence from the first minute and they will wait for Bilbao to make mistakes.
We think that this is a game where even a single goal can decide everything and a goal fest is not expected. Our second pick for this game would be under 2.5 goals.
