Prediction for Las Palmas – Ath Bilbao

Win Las Palmas Asian Handicap 0 @ 2.02

Match of Day 4 of the Santander League that will face the UD Las Palmas de _, in front of the Athletic Club of Bilbao of the “Cuckoo” Ziganda in the stadium of the Insular.

On the one hand Las Palmas arrives, 14th placed with 3 points, which he achieved in the last day in the Rosaleda. Last season did not get a single victory at home, and this has already taken the 3 points on the second attempt. I’m not saying I have a better team than last year, because it’s not like that, but they’re not as bad as I thought.

On the other hand Athletic Club, 4th in the table with 7 points, having won two victories against Éibar and Girona (2-0 and 1-0), and a draw at San Mamés against Getafe (0-0). I have seen a lot of the 3 matches, and the Bilbao have not left me good feelings, I do not know, I do not think Athletic of other years. While it is true that they have won 2 games, and tied another, you also have to look at their rivals, an Eibar that is not at its best and two newly promoted.

A very important issue to keep in mind is the Europa League, Athletic Club traveled to Berlin yesterday, to face Hertha, more than 2h and a half of flight, with what it entails, another 2h and spike back, and then Saturday / Sunday, they will have to take a third flight to go to Gran Canaria. It had a game very disputed until the end, that finished 0-0 and in which all the supposed headliners played, except Raúl García. In the first part deserved to score the Spanish team, but in the second was overcome, partly because of the accumulated fatigue that may have Athletic.

If it had been on the previous day, surely the value, in my opinion, would be on the side of the Basques, but not on this Sunday. In addition Athletic will receive Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, in which it will be another very demanding match, reason why Ziganda could give rest to certain players for this match in Gran Canaria.

On the palms, to say that I have been pleasantly surprised, while it is true, that they are one step below the first round of last year, I think that they are gradually being recovered from the casualties as important as those of Boateng and above all Roque Mesa. Aquilani, along with Javi Castellanos, are doing a good job in the midfield, Halilovic has plenty of quality, when he wants, Vitolo, we all know him, and Calleri is making a good start with two goals in the last 2 games.

Nor am I saying that today Las Palmas, is superior to Athletic in a match, but I do not think that it has to be, minimally, favorite Bilbao, as the quotas indicate, due to the circumstances of the party.

Also remember that in his two visits, since Ud Las Palmas ascended to 1st division, Athletic Club has not yet managed to win. Having finished both games with a 3-1, and a 0-0.
