Athletic Bilbao fans should have something to cheer in Girona tonight

Girona host Athletic Bilbao in La Liga tonight and Tobias Gourlay's expecting to be entertained

Both teams have scored in 5/6 Girona home games

Favourites Athletic have conceded on 4/5 road trips

In Spain last night, Sporting Gijon and Albacete drew 2-2 in a topsy turvy game that delivered a nice odds-against winner for us.

We're sticking in Spain and stepping up a level for the Friday-night game in La Liga. Struggling Girona host sixth-placed Athletic Bilbao and we fancy both teams to get on the score-sheet.

Promoted Girona are yet to keep a clean sheet in six Liga appearances at Estadi Montilivi this season (W2-D2-L2). At the other end, though, Michel's men have scored themselves in 5/6, with the same fraction delivering BTTS.

Ernesto Valverde's Athletic are W2-D2-L1 on the road this term. Last time out they were thrashed 4-0 by Barcelona - but that was the first away game in which they hadn't scored. They're favourites to win this one, despite conceding on 4/5 road trips so far. We'll back them to concede again tonight against a surprisingly perky Girona forward line and help deliver BTTS.
