Athletic Bilbao v Getafe

Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe Preview

The Spanish top flight action continues on Wednesday night and features this upcoming clash between Athletic Bilbao and Getafe when the two teams meet at the San Mamés Barria with the hosts looking to extend their current impressive sequence of results with a result against Getafe.

Although they were handed an opening day 2-0 defeat at home to Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao quickly got into their stride by putting together an impressive five-match unbeaten run in La Liga which not only consists of four wins and a draw but has also helped the hosts up into an early fourth place spot in the Spanish top flight table.

After that opening loss, Athletic Bilbao have captured wins against Osasuna, Real Betis, Cadiz and Alaves respectively so they will be in confident mood that they can continue this winning momentum here on Wednesday night.

In addition, Athletic Bilbao have kept four clean sheets in these last five league matches which gives the hosts a solid platform for this upcoming clash against a Getafe outfit whom they're unbeaten against in the previous six meetings.

Getafe have produced a rather mixed bag of results to date in this season's La Liga campaign as the visitors have collected two wins along with a draw but they have also succumbed to three defeats so far this term as well.

Victories against Alaves and Osasuna have helped in keeping Getafe away from early trouble down near the foot of the table as they occupy 13th place in the La Liga table but both wins were also registered on home soil at their Coliseum Alfonso Pérez while losses to Girona, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad underline the problems the visitors have had on their travels.

Perhaps most importantly, these three defeats have been incurred on the road where Getafe have really struggled to gain results in the Spanish top flight as the visitors have managed to capture just one win from their last 16 outings on the road and this poor sequence of form could haunt them once again at the San Mamés Barria on Wednesday night.

Having lost 11 of these 16 away games as well, Getafe look set to have their work cut out here on Wednesday night against their high-flying hosts.

Athletic Bilbao v Getafe Verdict

Athletic Bilbao look the more dangerous of these two teams heading into Wednesday night's clash as they bring impressive winning momentum under their belts while Getafe have shown they look extremely vulnerable on their travels and their soft underbelly on the road could come back to bite them again here.

Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten in the last six meetings and the hosts look the more likely to take the spoils in this encounter.
