As part of the seventh round of the Spanish La Liga, a match between Leganés and Athletic Bilbao will take place on Thursday, September 19th. The game is scheduled to start at 19:00 Central European Time. This prediction for the match was made by experts at Dailysports.
Leganés
Since returning to La Liga, Leganés is still finding their rhythm, with their main goal being to secure their place in the top division. While the outlook is promising, the team needs to improve quickly.
In five matches, Leganés has won only once and drawn twice. However, they suffered defeats in their last two games against Mallorca and Betis.
Athletic Bilbao
Athletic is performing at its usual level so far, though they have already lost two matches in La Liga. To be fair, the Basque team’s defeats came against Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, who are obviously stronger.
In their other matches, Athletic Bilbao has looked much better, earning deserved wins against Valencia and Las Palmas. Notably, in the last game, Nico Williams scored his first goal of the season, while his brother Iñaki provided three assists.
Match Facts
- Leganés hasn’t scored in three consecutive matches.
- Athletic hasn’t drawn an away game since February.
- Leganés averages 1 goal per game when playing at home, while Athletic averages 2 goals per game when playing away.
Probable Lineups
- Leganés: Soriano, Rosier, Poirier, Carrera, Nastasić, Neyou, Rodríguez, Cruz, Brašanac, Franquesa, Hallér.
- Athletic Bilbao: Agirrezabala, Berchiche, Vivian, Paredes, De Marcos, Ruiz, Herrera, I. Williams, Sancet, N. Williams, Guruzeta.
Head-to-Head
In eight head-to-head encounters, Athletic has won three times, Leganés has won twice, and three matches ended in a draw.
Prediction
The Basques are the favorites and will visit the newly promoted team aiming for three points. I believe the Williams brothers will lead their team to victory, and my bet is on Athletic not losing and the total goals being under 3.5.
