Athletic Bilbao at Granada 9/12/2020 - La Liga Picks & Predictions

These two teams met in the final match-day of the La Liga back in June 19th, where Granada won by an easy 0-4 at home. The two teams will now kick off the new season in the same venue, with Athletic Bilbao looking to do better than their previous trip.

Granada had a great season in the La Liga last year, where they managed to finish at the 7th spot (16-14-8) and claimed a ticket to the Europa League qualifiers. They might have not been anything special on the road (6-8-5), but they did a pretty solid job at home (10-6-3). However, they didn’t make a very good finish in the season, winning just one of their last five matches at home (1-3-1 but all matches where without spectators). Granada scored 52 goals and conceded 45, with half of their matches going Over 2.5 Goals and the other half going Under 2.5 Goals.

Athletic Bilbao are coming off a pretty mediocre season, as they finished at the 11th spot of the league table with 51 points, five behind the top-seven. They scored 41 goals and conceded 38 in the process, with 26 of their matches going Under 2.5 goals and just 12 matches going Over 2.5 Goals. Athletic Bilbao were equally mediocre on the road (4-7-8), scoring 20 goals and conceding 24. Eight of those matches had Over 2.5 Goals and 11 had Under 2.5 Goals.
