Athletic Bilbao will continue their search for a goal as they host Rayo Vallecano in a La Liga matchday 31 fixture on Sunday. This match at San Mames between the fourth-placed Lions and the ninth-placed Red Sashes comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
With 54 points, Athletic are comfortable in fourth place with a six-point lead over Villarreal. Vallecano have 40 points and are three points outside the top seven places and an outside bet to qualify for Europe.
A 0-0 draw at Ibrox against the Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday meant Athletic have now recorded three successive 0-0 draws. That said, four clean sheets in a row are a reason why they are unbeaten in six competitive matches.
While the next week’s second leg casts a shadow over their preparations, Athletic will be comfortable knowing they are unbeaten in seven home matches in a row.
Vallecano were thrashed 4-0 at home by Espanyol last weekend, but that only continued their poor recent run. They had just one win from their last seven league matches, losing four and drawing two.
This sequence has pulled them down in the race for Europe, and Vallecano hope to find a second away league win in a row for the first time this season.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
Athletic Club went a third game without scoring, as a 0-0 draw at Rangers in the Europa League quarter-final first leg made it a third such score in a row. Their impressive defensive record continues to bail them out and could do so once again in this match. Four clean sheets in their last six home La Liga matches indicate it could be a tough outing for Rayo to get off the blocks. Goals could be scarce here, and our Athletic Bilbao vs Rayo Vallecano prediction is under 2.5.
