ATH vs VIL Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Athletic Bilbao vs Villarreal Laliga Live Score October 24

ATH vs VIL Dream11: Athletic Club is coming off a 1-0 win against Alaves in a Basque rivalry just before the international break. They’ve just lost once all season and have a game in hand on the teams ahead of them as they sit in the top half of the standings heading into this weekend’s round of games. Villarreal lost their first Liga encounter of the season last week, losing late to Osasuna thanks to a Chimy Avila goal, while Unai Emery made a few changes ahead of their key UEFA Champions League group stage meeting against Young Boys. Only two teams have drew more times this season than Athletic, and one of them is Villarreal. The visiting side are just drawing too many games, like they were last season, and this is preventing them from mounting a credible top-four campaign, let alone title dreams. They drew 1-1 in both games last season, so another tie appears to be a foregone conclusion.
