GIRONA
Girona are the surprise leaders of La Liga and they currently sit on 34 points from their 13 matches with just 1 defeat and 1 draw in that time.
They are on a run of 5 successive victories and beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 on the road last time out, their second successive away win. They have played 6 matches at home this season winning 5 and losing 1 and in this time they have scored 15 goals while conceding 8.
Four of the six Girona home matches have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
ATHLETIC BILBAO
Athletic Bilbao are 5th on the log and they have taken 7 points from the last 9 they have played for including back-to-back victories at home to Celta de Vigo 4-3 and away to Villarreal 3-2.
They have won 3 and drawn 1 of their 6 away matches this season and looking at their goal stats on the road, 2 of their 6 matches have reached the 3 goal mark and they have scored 7 goals in those 6 games while conceding 6.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Girona did the double over Athletic Bilbao last season, winning this fixture 2-1 and also beating them 3-2 on the road.

Girona 13/10
Draw 27/10
Athletic Bilbao 2/1
Girona are flying high so this is a very tricky encounter for them and I think the draw in particular offers some value here at 27/10. I am going to turn my attention to the goal markets though as both these teams have played in some high scoring fixtures of late.
Over 2.5 goals is trading at 4/6 and while I might throw that into a multiple I am going to be more ambitious here and say that we are going to get 4 goals or more in this game at a current price of 13/8. This bet would have arrived in Athletic Bilbao’s last 3 League matches and in 2 of the last 4 games played by Girona in the League.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 13/8
I would also like to go for a Correct Score in the stand-alone games and I am going to have a stab at the 2-2 draw at a current price of 11/1
Suggested Bet: Correct Score, 2-2 at 11/1
For those who enjoy a bet in the First Goal Scorer Market, Artem Dovbyk is trading as the 4/1 favourite to find the back of the net first.
