Key Facts
- Athletic Bilbao is in 13th place with nine points, while Getafe is in 15th place, also with nine points; this head-to-head matchup could change both teams’ standings.
- Athletic Bilbao has drawn three of its last five games; despite being the clear favorite, this form supports the riskier bet on a draw.
- Athletic Bilbao is missing two key offensive players in Oihan Sancet and Gorka Guruzeta; therefore, Nico and Iñaki Williams will need to step up.
- Athletic Bilbao must replace suspended center back Aymeric Laporte; Aitor Paredes is a candidate for this role.
- FC Getafe has won the most recent competitive matches against Athletic Bilbao; this record supports a bet on a draw or a Getafe win, despite Bilbao being the favorite.
- Athletic Bilbao has kept three clean sheets in its last five games; despite Getafe’s 2-5 loss to Lugano, this supports a bet on a low-scoring game.
Match Preview
Following Bilbao’s league defeat at Levante UD, Edin Terzic faces a challenge, while José Bordalás must stabilize Getafe after a heavy loss in the Conference League. The two teams will face off at San Mamés on Sunday. Although both clubs have nine points and Getafe won the last recorded competitive match between them in April 2026, Bilbao is considered the clear favorite. Anyone considering a bet can compare sportsbooks in advance. The competitive landscape is less clear-cut than the favorite status might suggest.
- Venue: San Mamés Stadium, Bilbao
- Date and Time: October 25, 2026, 2:00 p.m.
- Competition: La Liga (Matchday 10)
The bookmakers see Bilbao as the clear favorite. However, three draws in the five listed league matches point to a draw after regulation time and favor betting on a draw or on Getafe. Getafe’s 2–5 loss to FC Lugano in the Conference League, on the other hand, was a high-scoring game. Nevertheless, the absences of Oihan Sancet and Gorka Guruzeta, as well as Getafe’s low goal tally in the league, support all three picks. A draw is the riskiest choice here. Anyone looking to place one of these bets should check in advance—as a new customer—whether a new-customer betting bonus applies to the respective bet.
Bilbao Form & Record Check
Bilbao’s 1-3 loss at Levante UD revealed a weak first half and extended their winless streak in the league to four games. A clear victory is therefore hard to imagine. Aymeric Laporte received a red card and is suspended for this La Liga match; Aitor Paredes could replace him in central defense. However, Terzic has more to address than just this personnel issue.
The scoreless league draws against Valencia CF and Deportivo Alavés point toward under 2.5 goals. Bilbao’s 3-0 win over Atlético Madrid, however, shows that the team can also put in much more convincing performances this season. With Sancet and Guruzeta out, Terzic will likely be counting on Nico Williams and Iñaki Williams to provide an offensive spark. That creativity has been missing in their most recent league results.
Getafe Form & Record Check
Getafe’s 2-5 loss to FC Lugano in the Conference League makes a bet on under 2.5 goals riskier. The team took an early lead but then conceded goal after goal. Bordalás has three days until Sunday’s match to, above all, shore up the defense. The 1-1 draw against Rayo in La Liga shows a different side: despite Dakonam Djené’s red card, Getafe still managed to earn a point.
Four red cards in Getafe’s first nine league games put a bet on a draw or a Getafe win at risk if discipline slips again. According to reports, Getafe has yet to earn any points on the road in La Liga. Additionally, Christantus Uche and Zaid Romero are out. This leaves Bordalás with fewer options—both offensively and defensively—when selecting his projected starting lineup.
Bilbao – Getafe Head-to-Head & Statistics
Bilbao lost the last recorded competitive match between the two sides 0–2 in April 2026 and also lost the October 2025 clash 0–1. Despite Bilbao being the bookmakers’ favorite, a draw or a Getafe victory therefore seems entirely possible. However, 14 of the 30 recorded competitive matches ended in a draw, which supports the riskier bet on a draw. In each of the last five listed matches, fewer than 2.5 goals were scored. The record thus also suggests betting on few goals.
