Athletic Bilbao - Getafe: team news and expert analysis
After a couple of strong seasons, the Bilbao club endured a disappointing 2025/2026 campaign: they failed to reach the Champions League knockout stage and finished only 12th in La Liga. Terzic took over as the new head coach in the summer, but he also began his tenure with a couple of defeats. His players then started picking up points regularly and even securing wins. They never really got to play their match against Rayo Vallecano, as the fans intervened. And after a goalless draw with Valencia, they somehow went on to lose to Levante this week.
The team from the capital's suburbs, by contrast, improved and won the battle for seventh place in the spring. They entered the Conference League, where they made it through qualifying against Partizan, drew with Universitatea Craiova in the main phase and then lost 2-5 to Lugano. In their domestic league, however, they made a weak start, beating only the newcomers, Racing and Malaga, amid a string of defeats. The match against Rayo Vallecano also ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Basques score just one goal per game, while conceding only slightly more — 1.13 on average. The Madrid visitors have scored just 0.56 goals per match away from home, while conceding 1.22.

Both meetings last season were won by the current visitors, and they did so without conceding.
The hosts are expected to win. However, it looks far more likely that this will be a "total under 2.5 goals" match (odds — 1.6).
