Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Elche Prediction
Athletic Bilbao have a powerful squad but are yet to do justice to their potential this season. The Basque giants will look to return to European football this year and need to put together a streak of victories.
Elche have impressed on a few occasions but have not been consistent enough to move into the top half of the table. Athletic Bilbao are the better team on paper and hold the upper hand in this match.
