Match preview: Athletic Bilbao vs Las Palmas
Athletic Bilbao and Las Palmas will meet at San Mamés Barria for the 33rd round of La Liga. In their last encounter in the competition on 15/09/2024, Athletic Bilbao triumphed with a score of 2-3. The recent head-to-head record heavily favours the home side, who have secured 3 victories in their last 3 matches against Las Palmas. The home advantage could play a crucial role, particularly given the notable discrepancies between each team’s home and away performances.
Team analysis: Athletic Bilbao
The home side currently occupies 4th place in the league, having garnered 57 points from 15 wins, 12 draws, and 5 losses. In their previous match, Athletic Bilbao secured a 3-1 victory against Rayo Vallecano. However, they encountered a setback in their last match, losing 1-0 to Real Madrid. Athletic Bilbao is particularly formidable when playing at home, boasting a record of 10 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their stadium, compared to just 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses away from home.
In this season, they have yet to suffer a defeat in their last 13 home matches. Their home games frequently see a score of 0-0 at half-time (6 out of 16). Furthermore, in 10 of their last 16 home matches this season, there have been fewer than 3 goals. Out of 32 games played this season, they conceded the first goal 13 times but managed to recover only 3 times to win the match. Notably, in the last 16 home games in the league, they let in 4 of their 10 goals during the final 15 minutes (76’–90′).
Athletic Bilbao will approach this fixture following a morale-denting 1-0 defeat at Real Madrid. Managed by Ernesto Valverde, the team typically employs a 4-3-3 formation, characterised by high intensity pressing and rapid offensive transitions. The attacking trio of Iñaki Williams, Nico Williams, and Gorka Guruzeta presents a persistent threat capable of exploiting both positional and counterattacking opportunities. Oihan Sancet is a key figure in midfield, orchestrating play and maintaining the tempo. All players are available for selection in this fixture.
Team analysis: Las Palmas
The visiting team is currently placed 17th in the league, having accumulated 32 points with 8 wins, 8 draws, and 16 losses. In their second to last match, they achieved a 1-3 victory against Getafe and followed it with a 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid. Interestingly, they have performed better in away matches than at home, recording 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses away, compared to 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses at Estadio de Gran Canaria. Over their last 10 away matches, Las Palmas has earned 12 points from a possible 30, with their most common half-time score being 1-0 (6 out of 16 games).
Defensively, they have struggled recently, conceding goals in 9 of their last 10 matches; however, their attack has been consistent, scoring in 8 of their last 10 league matches. Their games tend to feature goals, as 14 out of the last 16 encounters have seen over 1.5 goals. Throughout this season, they have conceded the opening goal in 21 out of 32 matches and have managed to turn the score around just twice.
Las Palmas arrives at this match buoyed by a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, with Javi Muñoz scoring their only goal. Under the guidance of Diego Martínez, Las Palmas typically adopts a 4-4-2 tactical setup, focusing on rapid transitions and attacking plays primarily down the flanks. Fábio Silva and Oli McBurnie are integral in spearheading their attack, looking for opportunities behind opposing defences. While they utilise the wings, Las Palmas favours a more interlinked and supporting style of play, utilising short passes to progress the ball. However, Andy Pelmard and Kirian Rodríguez are unavailable for this match due to injury.
