THE PREDICTION
Athletic begin their year on the back of defeat in the Basque derby on New Years’ Eve. A very flat performance that failed to back up a good performance away to Villarreal. However, flat performances with a lack of aggression have been a consistent theme of their season. Elche enter the year outside of the relegation zone with a couple of games in hand on their rivals. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw to Real Madrid where they consistently attacked and managed to nick an equaliser against a functional Los Blancos side. However, their positive mood will be conditional as the newly promoted side have now not won in nine games. In eight of their last ten games, they have had both teams to score whereas Athletic have also had several games ending in BTTS; including six of their last ten. Therefore, both teams to score should be a likely bet.
