Athletic Club vs Getafe Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 15th August 2024

LaLiga title favourites Athletic Club begin their title challenge on Thursday in an opening day encounter with Getafe at San Mames.

We expect to see some solid dedication from both Athletic Club and Getafe as starting a season with a defeat is an undesirable outcome for anyone's morale.

Athletic Club are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 13 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.3 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 11 goals, or an average of 1.1 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to four clean sheets in this run.

Getafe travel to their next LaLiga match, averaging a lowly 0.6 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a disappointing total of six goals, while also conceding 12 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.2 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

The last time the pair played each other Athletic Club came away as 0-2 winners, and rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind this coming Thursday.

Athletic Club vs Getafe Prediction

Athletic Club Form

Athletic Club look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Celta Vigo, they were left empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Sevilla in a 2-0 win. They followed that up with a 0-1 win against Rayo Vallecano in their most recent outing. Athletic Club managed to win two of their past six home matches in the LaLiga. In the remaining four, they drew four and lost zero, as they scored eight and conceded four goals.

Getafe Form

Getafe were unable to pick up a single good result in their last three matches, as they were first beaten 0-3 by Atletico Madrid. Next up, Deportivo Alaves won 1-0, before losing 1-2 against Mallorca. Getafe claimed just one win from the last six away games in the LaLiga. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by eight goals to three.

For whatever reason, Getafe and Athletic Club usually find goals tough to come by, when facing each other, and history makes under 2.5 goals our call here.
