Athletic Club Form

Athletic Club look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last 3 matches saw them gain 7 points. They ran out 4-0 and 0-1 against Mallorca and Atletico Madrid respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Almeria, who claimed a point in a 0-0 draw. Athletic Club swept all opposition aside in the six most recent La Liga matches at their home ground. They won all six, adding 18 points to their account, whilst scoring 17 and conceding four goals.

Girona have been inconsistent in their last three matches, which brought home four points. They claimed a 0-1 win against Celta Vigo, before drawing 0-0 with Real Sociedad.
