Elche vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction and Betting Tips | La Liga 2022-23

Elche will host Athletic Bilbao at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero in La Liga on Sunday, looking to pick up their first win of the season.

It's been a disapponting campaign for Los Franjiverdes so far, who are down in 18th position with just one point in four games - only Cadiz have accrued fewer at this stage (0).

Francisco's side have also conceded nine goals so far, including four against Villarreal in their last game and have scored just once - in a 1-1 draw with Almeria on matchday two.

Bilbao, meanwhile, are up in sixth place with two wins and seven points as they look to bounce back from their latest setback.

Espanyol ended their unbeaten start to the league campaign with a 1-0 defeat of Los Leones last weekend, courtesy of an 83rd-minute winner from ex-Barcelona forward Martin Braithwaite.

It was also the first time the Basque Country outfit have shipped a goal in the league this season. They kept a clean sheet in their opening three games for the first time since the 2017-18 season.
