With one match on Monday in Matchday Ten in Spain, two squads meet up in Madrid where Bilbao hasn't defeated the home clubbers in 9 previous meetings. However, this Bilbao group is quite different then years past. Boasting one of the better counter-striking abilities in La Liga, this team can turn the table quickly.
Since the loss in the Madrid derby to Real, Getafe has reeled off 4 wins in a row and find themselves just one point out of qualification in La Liga, just ahead of Bilbao. Protecting home pitch is very important here and I think we can expect a solid effort from both squads.
I feel this match is going to be extremely equal and I'm banking on a goal in the 70'+ to push this total. Bilbao will undoubtedly push the envelope late in the match, uneasy with one grabbing one point in Madrid. The attitude from the coaches is "We need 3 on the road" - which can spell trouble in terms of counter.
Athletic Bilbao / Getafe OVER 2.5 (-108)
Goodluck if you decide to play. This is tremendous value IMO.
