- Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten in five matches (Won 2, Drawn 3).
- Getafe have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five matches.
- Getafe have won none of their four away matches in LaLiga 2026/2027, losing all four.
It's a contest at San Mames
Getafe won the previous head-to-head 2-0 at home six months ago in LaLiga 2025/2026 and Athletic Bilbao are now winless in two against them in Bilbao. Back on the home pitch in Bilbao, Athletic have won once, drawn twice and lost once of four LaLiga 2026/2027 home games, so they've got a good foothold, but not an iron grip. This Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe preview suggests a closely fought match.
Pepe Bordalas' compact, physical and transition-based blueprint is still what defines Getafe after he took charge in April 2023, but it hasn't been as successful this season. Getafe have lost all four of their away games so far.
Getafe's overall form in the last five head-to-head meetings (Won 2, Drawn 1, Lost 2) looks good, but the fact they have not scored a single away goal in Spain's top-flight is a glaring red flag. The visit to San Mames is a difficult one as a result and Bordalas will have to find a way to turn this game into a duel-based battle in order to get a result.
Edin's Eagles are a different beast
Edin Terzic has been at the helm of Athletic since 1st July 2026 and his fluid, adaptable and opponent-specific game model has given them a much more controlled, but still dangerous, feel. Athletic are currently ninth in the 2026/2027 edition of LaLiga with nine points from seven games, while Getafe sit 14th with eight points from eight. Athletic Bilbao followed up with a 1-0 win away to Real Sociedad and a 0-0 away draw at Valencia in their two most recent matches, so they are as solid as a rock. Robert Navarro is their current top scorer in the league with two goals in five appearances, so Los Leones do have a sharper sword than Getafe, whose leading marksman Enes Unal has one in seven. Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe prediction points to Athletic to win and under 2.5 goals looks a great fit for this matchup, given Getafe's blunt attacking play away from home and Athletic's organised, compact shape at present. The Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe betting tips also lean toward the hosts, whose odds are more than fair at 1.62, although Getafe are a tough bet at 5.3 and the draw is a similar price at 3.8. Athletic Bilbao should win this game, but they're unlikely to take Getafe apart in the away team's stubborn style, so we're going for a narrow Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe prediction and under 2.5 total goals at 1.65.
