Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao square off against each other at Estadio de la Ceramica in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. The Yellow Submarine are not enjoying a season to remember, but this game could be the turning point for the home side. All Coquelin, Foyth, Pedraza, Pino, and Denis Suarez have been struggling with injuries of late, but key midfielder Dani Parejo has overcome his problem.
The Basques, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-2 draw with Valencia and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the round 12 clash. Both Ander Herrera and Yeray Alvarez are sidelined with injuries, while defender Yuri Berchiche should recover in time to face Villarreal. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Inaki Williams, who provided an assist for Alex Berenguer at the weekend.
