Athletic Bilbao will be looking to cement their place in the La Liga standings when they welcome Leganes to San Mames on Sunday evening.
Surprisingly, Athletic Bilbao are fourth in the Spanish top flight after their recent form. Ernesto Valverde's side travelled in midweek to Besiktas in Turkey, where they were hoping a win would send them top of the Europa League standings. The Lions went home empty-handed after a 4:1 defeat and that result means they have now won just one of their last five games in all competitions. However, Bilbao's fans will take heart from the fact that the only win during that spell came in La Liga.
Los Legales meanwhile have surprised many with their recent form. A shock 1:0 win over in-form Atlético Madrid last weekend lifted the visitors out of the bottom five, and having also won their last league visit to San Mames, they will fancy their chances of picking up at least a point this weekend. Borja Jiménez's side take a four-match unbeaten run into Sunday's clash - three wins and two draws.
Athletic Bilbao vs Leganes Betting Tips: Under2.5 goals
Bilbao failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last four matches, but just one of their games was at San Mames. The Lions kept a clean sheet in two of their last four home matches in the Spanish top flight and just one of the 4 games played in that spell produced more than two goals.
Recent meetings between Athletic Bilbao and Leganes in La Liga were not also very entertaining. Eight of the last eight ended with under two goals, and I fancy Sunday’s game to end similarly.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Athletic Bilbao vs Leganes prediction: 2-0

Enric Franquesa has been on the sidelines since November due to a cruciate ligament injury, and the defender is not expected to feature for Leganes before August.
Head coach Jimenez will resist the temptation to alter his XI after the fantastic display in the win over Atletico Madrid over a week ago.
