Athletic Club form and stats

Athletic Club have performed here at San Mamés Barria this season with 6 wins from 10 La Liga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Athletic Club has five draws from their last five matches. Two draws in a row at home now for Athletic Club.

An away draw last time out for Athletic Club, facing Tenerife in a game that ended 3-3. A 1-1 draw away in the La Liga before that, with Espanyol the opponent.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

This is expected to be a close game, with Athletic Club perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Athletic Club as a small favourite), we find six games. Athletic Club has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Athletic Club are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 10 games. As for guarding their own goal, Athletic Club have only let in 4 goals at home.

Getafe had fun at their own home (San Mamés Barria) last time out, beating Real Betis 1-0. Ángel Rodríguez scored. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Leganes.
