Getafe vs Athletic Bilbao prediction 15.05.2025 | La Liga

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Thursday, 15th May, 2025
• Kickoff: 20:30 UK / 21:30 CEST
• Venue: Coliseum (Getafe)

In the last four years, Getefe looked like a relegation candidate, but managed to survive somehow. This year, the team from Madrid hoped for a more stable end of the season as they sat in 11th place just a few rounds ago. However, after losing five straight, they complicated their lives. They are still a comfortable five points above the danger zone, but they are entering the last few games of the season with terrible momentum. In the last three games, Getafe have a pretty tough schedule - Athletic Bilbao, Mallorca, and Celta Vigo.

Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, are playing one of their best season in a long time. The Basque team is doing well in La Liga, considering they are in 4th place with 64 points - six points away from dropping out of the Champions League spots. Bilbao did great in the Europa League as well, reaching the Semi-Finals, where Manchester United eventually won 7:1. After the Getafe game, they will have two challenging matches against Mallorca and Celta Vigo. So, winning points against Getafe is very important.

Getafe vs Athletic Bilbao pick: Under 2.5 goals

Getafe are known for their gritty, defensive style of football, and because of it, they mostly play low-scoring games. So far, they went under 2.5 goals in 69% of their La Liga games - the most in La Liga. Also, in the last five games, Getafe only scored one goal and haven't had a particularly tough schedule.

Bilbao are also struggling offensively, scoring one or zero goals in the last six matches in all competitions. On the other hand, their defense has been fantastic throughout the La Liga season. With 26 conceded goals, they are currently the best defensive team in the league! So, we wouldn't be surprised if they kept a clean sheet against an out-of-form Getafe.

In the first h2h game this season, we saw a 1:1 draw. Moreover, three of the last four h2h games ended with fewer than three goals. Considering all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this La Liga tie.
