Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca Prediction
Showing inconsistent form, Athletic Bilbao lost two of their past three matches, going down 1-0 against Granada, before beating Osasuna 2-0. The joy was short-lived, as Sevilla proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat. In their last six La Liga home matches, Athletic Bilbao have three wins, while they've drawn two and lost one. They scored seven and conceded four goals.
Athletic Bilbao go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in a European competition.
In their last three matches, Mallorca drew 0-0 with Sevilla, beat Rayo Vallecano by 2-1 and beat Osasuna by 0-2. Mallorca claimed just one win from the last six away games in the La Liga. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by seven goals to three.
A battle for survival appears to be on the cards for Mallorca as they seek to keep their La Liga status for another term.
Both Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca are having a hard time finding their way to the net. With the teams clashing in this round 1, we find a low scoring match is the natural pick.
