Goal Statistics

Athletic Bilbao have been steady in attack of late, scoring in 14 consecutive Europa League outings. Their PG of 1.7 against Viktoria Plzen on Thursday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

Athletic Bilbao's defensive record is to be admired, E. Valverde Tejedor's men having conceded 1 or less in 11 consecutive Europa League outings. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Viktoria Plzen makes sense in this context.
