Betis vs Athletic Bilbao


An interesting meeting on this day of Sunday is the one that will be played by Betis and Athletic Bilbao for a new date of the Santander League.

In my opinion, there is no clear favorite on this occasion, as the two teams are even and can be neutralized throughout the 90 minutes. For this reason and considering that the “verdiblancos” are combative but irregular in their field, we advise you to play a few euros to the pure tie. Remember that the Basques, despite some defensive inattention, remain a set of fears by acting away from home.

Take into account that Betis comes from equaling 3-3 against Celta Benito Villamarín, being close to having won the match. He has scored 15 points, only 4 in the last 5 dates. It is a combative team but irregular in its actions. Their goal is to keep improving to get away as fast as possible from the play offs zone.

On the other hand do not forget that the “green and white” box has not added good results in its field, yielding too many points in this condition (2 wins, 3 draws and 2 total drops). Before equaling against the Galicians he had beaten Las Palmas 2-0, leaving behind defeats against Real Madrid and Espanyol (1-6 and 0-1 respectively).

Continuing with the analysis you must know that Athletic Bilbao is well at this duel after defeating 3-1 to Eibar as a local and placing in the seventh in the general table. The team aims to be more regular, as it can not win two straight games. Of course, it is close to the Champions League posts, adding 23 points in total (7 wins, 2 parities and 5 total drops).

To conclude we tell you that the Basques have recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 total drops, managing to score 7 goals and yield 10 on their fence. He has scored 1 point in his last 4 outings, losing 2-1 to Malaga, dropping 2-1 against Real Madrid, equaling 0-0 against Espanyol and losing 3-1 to Las Palmas.

After reviewing the details of this comparison I play for equality because of the following reasons: First because the two teams are intense and relatively even in their actions. Therefore, it is not surprising that you can alternate the ball domain and goal situations. Second because the “green and white”, thus has yielded points in Benito Villamarín, remains an uncomfortable rival to overcome before his people. And thirdly because Athletic Bilbao, although it has lost some outlets, has always fought to the end. Faced with this reality and knowing that the Basques usually register adjusted visits, we believe that the match can finish 1-1 or 2-2 after the final whistle. A parity without goals is not ruled out if the procedure is too harsh.


Prediction: Over 2,5 goals
Odds: 2,17
