Athletic Bilbao have roared back to life and will be out to claim three points at home against Elche. Heading into this encounter, Athletic have risen to 10th, leaving Elche in the drop zone after four rounds. Even when struggling, Athletic still claimed a win over Elche, and our prediction backs the same here.

Athletic Bilbao started the season with two straight defeats, but that seems like a distant memory now. They are coming off two straight wins and keeping clean sheets in both.

It all started at Celta Vigo, where they won 2-0 before storming through a 3-0 home win against Atletico Madrid. In their most recent meeting, Athletic won 2-1 to put up a two-game unbeaten run against Elche.

Just two weeks ago, Elche were side by side with Athletic, who are now racing towards a firm place in the top half. Elche are left languishing in the relegation zone, having collected just one point from a possible 12.

The visitors are coming off a 3-2 loss to Real Sociedad, the third straight league outing in which they conceded at least three goals.

New manager Martin Anselmi will be scratching his head, first to stop the losing run and then to address a porous defence. Elche are the only ones to have conceded in double digits so far (12).

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Elche Prediction

Athletic Bilbao haven’t recorded three straight wins in La Liga since February. They will not get a better chance to end that run than this weekend. The Lions have grown into the season after losing starts in the first two matches.

They have bounced back and are threatening in attack while solid at the back. In their last two matches, they didn’t just post wins but did so with clean sheets. Meeting a struggling side can only take this one way. Our prediction for Athletic Bilbao v Elche is Athletic Bilbao wins to nil.

Prediction :

 

Athletic Bilbao win to nil
