Ath Bilbao - Leganes  Prediction, Picks and Taips  


 

In Germany it is already standard that the last two match days are kicked off at the same time. This is by no means the case in Spain, but only those areas in which relevant decisions can still be made. On Thursday, this will be the case in nine of the ten games - including the game between Athletic Bilbao and Leganes.

Both teams are challenged, although the starting situation is not particularly positive for either the Basque people from Bilbao or the Madrilenians from the Leganes district. A look at the current LaLiga table shows Bilbao in eighth place, three points behind the Europa League starting position.

The situation is even more precarious for Leganes, who are missing four points on the saving bank. A victory is needed for the strong Basques at home. The game starts on Thursday at 20 p.m.

The traditional Basques no longer have a return to Europe in their own hands. Two laps before the end, Getafe and local rival Real Sociedad de San Sebastian are three points behind. While the direct comparison (which counts in the event of a tie) was lost against Getafe, Bilbao is ahead of Sociedad.
 
The defensive performance has been outstanding in the season so far. The LaLiga table eighth has the third best defense and has, for example, fewer goals conceded than Marc-Andre ter-Stegen and the big FC Barcelona. 32 goals in 36 games means less than one goal per game, and goalkeeper Unai Simon kept his box clean twelve times.

Thanks to the strong defense, no shooter festival is needed in the game. Only 41 goals scored do not necessarily represent an enormous goal threat. 

The fact that the Basques can still flirt with the Europa League is largely thanks to the 34-year-old veteran Raul Garcia. In the past few weeks, the offensive midfielder has mostly been one stage ahead and knows how to impress as a striker. With 15 goals of the season, he is the guarantee of success in the game of the Basques.

Last weekend he also became a match winner with his double in the 2-1 win against UD Levante. After two defeats in a row (Real Madrid, Sevilla), Bilbao returned to winning ways.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Those declared dead live longer! This phrase is quite apt for the situation at Leganes. In the fourth year in the Spanish football upper house, Leganes seems to no longer be able to jump off the cliff and will most likely be able to take the bitter course into second class.
 
The fact that the subjunctive can still be used is a surprise. With the exception of Matchday 1 and Matchday 22, Leganes was in one of the last three table positions throughout the season. The situation was almost hopeless, but thanks to seven points from the last three games, the chance is still intact.

The defensive in particular has been convincing in the past few days and goalkeeper oldie Ivan Cuellar held three times in a row. In the 1-0 win against Valencia, he became a hero with a penalty. Nevertheless, Leganes is still four points behind the saving bank and with Real Madrid, a real Herculean task awaits next Sunday.

There is no hope of success in the Basque Country when looking abroad. Leganes has only made two home trips with one win so far this season. The offensive in particular is a major problem, which is already evident from a total of only 26 goals this season. But only eleven goals were scored abroad.

The task is made even more difficult by the enormous personnel problems. The Aguirre eleven had to pay dearly for their 1-0 win over Valencia. Jonathan Silva (red suspension), Chidozie Awaziem and Recio (yellow suspension) will be missing. In addition, creative spirit Oscar Rodriguez is injured. It is difficult to find arguments for a tip on the guests between Athletic Bilbao and Leganes on Thursday.
