Athletic Bilbao games have recently had a noticeable trend of at least one team recording a clean sheet. It has happened six times, as can be seen by looking at their last six games. Their opponents have scored two goals in those matches, while Athletic Bilbao have scored three.
We’ll soon find out if that pattern holds for this upcoming game.

Will Cadiz make a splash?
Cadiz has had a terrible start to the season, losing to Real Sociedad 1-0 at home on the first day of the campaign before losing to Osasuna 2-0 last week.
This means that none of their past four La Liga games have included more than two goals, and they have only won two of their last eight games overall.
Sergio is already under fire because his team has only scored three goals or more once in 14 of their last 20 league games played at Estadio Ramón de Carranza since the beginning of the previous campaign.
Bilbao is hot-looking in the background.
Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, has yet to give up a goal, courtesy to a 0-0 tie with Mallorca on the opening day and a 1-0 win over Valencia last weekend.
Although they haven’t played on the road yet, things could change there. Only two of their previous 13 league games (across all venues) have included three or more goals.
The team led by Ernesto Valverde has also triumphed in both of their previous visits to Estadio Ramón de Carranza, and they have maintained a clean sheet in five of their last seven La Liga games.
In this game, I anticipate there won’t be more than three goals scored, and I also expect Athletic Bilbao to win, so I’m going to predict a 1-0 away victory.
