Predicted Result: Leganes 1 – 2 Athletic Bilbao
Match Preview: Firstly, considering it as a home fixture Leganes should be confident about getting the better of the opposition. But they still would know that it’s not going to be an easy task at all. However, they will certainly battle for all 3 points. But I think Mauricio Pellegrino won’t go with the attacking tactics. He may select a balanced one.
On the contrary, Bilbao will come as the favorites for sure. But they too know that a few little mistakes can prove to be vital at the Butarque. Whatever, Gaizka Garitano is expected to go with the attacking display of football.
Coming to the prediction, I smell a good battle in this clash. I also back both sides to score. Finally, my pick is a narrow victory for the visitors.
