I’d suggest opposing Granada all the way until their current manager Moreno is in charge. The former Spanish National Team and AS Monaco coach has been doing an utterly disappointing job so far in Andalucia and from a Europa League contender last season they’ve set themselves for a fight against relegation in this campaign. There is still a chance to turn things around but the board is seemingly reluctant and stubborn simultaneously to get rid of the manager, most likely due to the financial side of the matter. As a result their hands are tied in the current situation and the team keeps its’ fast drop to the bottom of the LaLiga table.

After the win against fellow relegation bound team Levante (7 points and 20th position in the table), Granada followed it up with back to back defeats vs. Espanyol and Real Madrid with a total 1:6 goal difference. They were all over the place defensively in both games and at the moment the record for conceded goals is as poor as that of Cadiz, Valencia or Elche, while at the offensive end they are leading the line for highest inefficiency.

Bilbao is not a really reliable option to go with when they are priced as favourites, mainly because they are traditionally so toothless going forward. 11 goals in 13 games is a pitiful achievement and puts them together with Alaves and Getafe for the lowest number of goals scored in the entire league.

However, on the other hand they are the toughest side to break down and it has helped them stay in the upper half of the table within a hand’s reach to European zone.

Granada, in my opinion, is the kind of opponent Bilbao will find comfortable due to this blend of defensive chaos and attacking inconsistency. Marcelino has things under control at Athletic unlike his counterpart Gerard Moreno, who is evidently losing the dressing room as the team slips out of control on the pitch.

Expecting a narrow home win in this weekend opener.

我建议一直反对格拉纳达，直到他们的现任主教练莫雷诺掌权。这位前西班牙国家队和摩纳哥队的教练到目前为止在安达卢西亚的表现非常令人失望，上赛季作为欧联杯的有力争夺者，他们在这次比赛中要为保级而战。现在仍然有机会扭转局面，但董事会似乎不愿和固执地同时除掉这位经理，很可能是由于财务方面的原因。结果他们的手被绑在了目前的情况下，这支队伍保持着它的快速下降到LaLiga表的底部。

在战胜同为保级队的莱万特队(7分，积分榜第20位)后，格拉纳达以1:6的净胜球差距连续输给西班牙人和皇家马德里。在两场比赛中，他们的防守都很严密，目前他们的失球记录和加的斯、瓦伦西亚和埃尔切一样糟糕，而在进攻端，他们的效率最高。

当毕尔巴鄂被定价为最受欢迎的股票时，它并不是一个真正可靠的选择，主要是因为它们传统上是没有影响力的。在13场比赛中打进11球是一个可怜的成就，这让他们和阿拉维斯和赫塔菲一起成为全联盟进球最少的球员。

然而，在另一方面，他们是最难被击败的球队，这帮助他们保持在积分榜的上半部分，距离欧洲区仅一步之遥。

在我看来，格拉纳达是那种让毕尔巴鄂感到舒服的对手，因为它混合了防守混乱和进攻不稳定。马塞利诺控制住了Athletic的一切，不像他的对手杰拉德·莫雷诺，当球队在球场上失去控制时，莫雷诺显然失去了更衣室。

看好毕尔巴鄂小胜。
