Match preview

Espanyol host Athletic Bilbao in the La Liga on 13 May 2026. Espanyol sit 14th on 41 points and Athletic Bilbao are 13th on 41. Espanyol have won 0 of their last 5 (LLDLL), while Athletic Bilbao have won 2 of 5 (LWLWL). In their last 1 meetings, Espanyol won 1, Athletic Bilbao won 0 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
