Prediction: 2-1
Athletic Bilbao
Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao square off against each other at Estadio de la Ceramica in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Yellow Submarine are eyeing a spot in the Europa League and their current form is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. Yeremi Pino has joined the likes of Giovani Lo Celso, Luis Morales, Kiko Femenia, and Francis Coquelin in the recovery room. Etienne Capoue is widely expected to replace Pino in the starting XI.
The Lions, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous three league fixtures and seeing that important defenders Daniel Vivian (suspension) and Yeray Alvarez (groin injury) are out of contention, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match.
