After securing a trophy in the Copa del Rey, Athletic Bilbao is now setting their sights on climbing the ranks in La Liga, where they find themself just four points adrift of the top four. Athletic Bilbao haven't impressed lately, as they haven't won any of the previous three matches in the regular 90 minutes. Last weekend, Ernesto Valverde's team played 1-1 at home against Villarreal. That was another subpar performance as guests tallied an xG of 2.36, while the home side had only 0.77.
Next season, Granada will play in the second level of Spanish football. With seven rounds left to play, Jose Ramon Sandoval's team is 11 points behind safety, so realistically, there is not much hope for them. Granada were in a run of 11 games without a win until last Sunday, when they won 2-0 at home against Alaves. That was probably the best Granada game in the previous four months, and maybe that will give them some confidence to fight.
Athletic Bilbao vs Granada pick: Under 2.5 goals
In each of the previous six Athletic Bilbao games, there were two or fewer goals. On the other hand, Granada scored only two goals in the previous four games. Under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie. Under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Granada team news
Jose Ramon Sandoval became Granada's head coach in March. He had a hard task to avoid relegation, but it seems that La Liga's final seven games will be a test of whether he will continue to lead red and white next season, too.
Oscar Melendo is the only Granada player who could miss the upcoming tie against Athletic Bilbao.
