Granada vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction and Betting Tips

Granada welcome seventh-placed Athletic Bilbao to the Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes in La Liga action on Tuesday.

The home team are desperately trying to avoid the drop this season and took a big step in that direction with a massive 6-2 win against Mallorca in a crucial game concerning the relegation race last time around.

With the three points, they moved to 17th place in the standings but still, two points separate them and 18th-placed Mallorca.

The visitors, on the other hand, are hoping to keep their European qualification hopes alive in the final three games of the season. They are four points behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad and might only secure a sixth-place finish if they win all of their remaining fixtures.

They were held to a goalless draw by Valencia last time around and will be keen on returning to winning ways in this match.

Granada vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction

The visitors are the better side in terms of form but have struggled in their recent trips to Granada, with the hosts keeping five clean sheets in their last seven home games against the Basque side.

Granada also received a huge confidence boost from their 6-2 win last time around, which was their first win since March.

We expect this to be a close game but the visiting side are in good touch at the moment and should be able to capitalize on Granada's poor home form.
