Athletic Bilbao have struggled to find their feet during September, with a congested fixture list not helping their cause. LaLiga had a midweek fixture list last week, meaning that Los Leones have had to rotate their personnel a little more than they may like.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Zorya Luhansk predictions focus mainly on the poor away form of the Ukrainian outfit, which makes the midweek soccer betting odds tempting in terms of backing the Basque club to win fairly comfortably on their own patch.

Zorya have started their season terribly, with their consistently poor performances of late sure to give Ziganda confidence that his own squad can bounce back on Thursday evening in quite convincing fashion.

Athletic Bilbao vs Zorya Luhansk Prediction and Betting Advice

Athletic Bilbao have kept three clean sheets in their last four home matches in all competitions, with the San Mames being an important place at refuge for them during a long and difficult season. But for a recent defeat to Atletico Madrid in LaLiga, they’ve looked solid on their own patch.

Their recent visit to Germany showed defensive stability too, with goalkeeper Iago Herrerin forced into a number of good saves to ensure that Hertha Berlin couldn’t find a way through Los Leones in a 0-0 stalemate. Athletic winning without the opposition scoring, therefore, is fantastic value with Ladbrokes.

Zorya Luhansk have found the back of the net in their last six consecutive league games, but the quality on show in the UEFA Europa League will be a large step up on the teams that they have been narrowly losing to domestically of late. Athletic should take full advantage of their poor form.

Inaki Williams has been in fantastic form this season for Athletic, with his two goals against Malaga at the weekend just another example of how he is adding to his game. Our Athletic Bilbao vs Zorya Luhansk bets, therefore, are centred around his performance levels of late.

The Spanish youth international possesses plenty of pace and skill, with goals being the one thing missing from his armoury last season. Williams is working to change that, however, with his brace kicking off what should be a very profitable campaign for him both domestically and in European action. Betfair’s anytime offer for the Spaniard to hit the back of the net is too good to ignore.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Zorya Luhansk picks back Williams to be a live wire once again for Los Leones, with Zorya being the perfect opposition for Athletic to face after a difficult last few games in league action. They will be keen to bounce back in the best and most comfortable fashion possible.
