Bookmakers make Athletic Bilbao odds-on favourites to come out on top in this match.
Odds: Athletic Bilbao (4/9) Draw (10/3) Granada (6/1)Gamingtips Prediction – Athletic Bilbao 3:1 Granada
Athletic Bilbao have lost just 6 of their opening 25 fixtures while Granada have lost 14 of their opening 25.
Granada’s main problem has been scoring goals – they have scored just 22 goals in their opening 25 games compared with Bilbao who have scored 25.
Unless Granada can drastically improve their attacking play, they are going to have a very hard time against a side who have a Champions League position in their sights.
