Two struggling teams, Getafe and Bilbao, go toe-to-toe in the LaLiga Santander's only Monday night action. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The visitors were big winners in their most recent meeting putting five past their opponents while conceding just once in the game at the San Mames. This is enemy territory, however, a place they haven't been victorious in since the 2015/2016 season.

Getafe keen on building more momentum

Getafe are finally coming to form in the league this season, winning two of their last four league matches. Those two wins have been the three points they've managed all season, drawing four and losing the remaining nine. This poor run has put them in the relegation zone, however, they've been building up steam over the past month and it is then left to see whether they can use that as a platform to get the better of their opponents on Monday night. Getafe was in action in the Copa Del Rey last Tuesday, beating Mollerussa five goals to one.

Just four points separate Athletic Club from the European places on the league table, however, they head into this one in need of all three points so as to keep up with the boys above them. Ever since beating Villarreal at the end of October, they have pasted a run of four draws and two defeats in their last six matches. Last time out, they were beaten by Real Madrid courtesy of a solitary strike from Karim Benzema and although it was their third loss of the season, they still sit in 8th place on the Spanish top-flight standings.

Getafe vs Bilbao Prediction: 1-1

Bilbao area side that is tough to beat which is why we've seen them play out stalemates on eight separate occasions this season. However, they've managed just four wins in 15 league matches this season and given their poor run of results at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, we envisage both sides shaking hands for a share of the spoils.
