Real Sociedad vs Athletico Bilbao (Pick, Prediction, Preview) Preview

 

An entertaining encounter in this day of Sunday is the one that will play Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao by a new date of the Santander League.

In my opinion, the local box is a favorite because of the collective potential and offensive that it has, which usually increases when acting in Anoeta. For this reason and even if it is a classic, we advise you to play a few euros to your simple win. Remember that “Lions” usually lower their level as visitors, lacking balance between lines.

Take into account that Real Sociedad arrives motivated to this duel after beating 2-3 to Betis as a visitor and to add a vital triumph in their fight to fight the fourth place of the table and to classify to the next Champions League. The team is still groomed and effective midfield forward, having to improve their production in defense.

On the other hand do not forget that the Basque team has added acceptable results in Anoeta, despite some other negative result (7 wins, 3 draws and 3 falls). That, yes, urgently needs to return to be regular in his stadium, after losing 0-1 on the hour against Villarreal and tie 2-2 before Eibar (parity yielded without a few seconds for the final whistle).

Continuing with the analysis you must know that Athletic Bilbao comes motivated to this game after defeating 1-0 to Malaga and adding 41 points in total. The team wins at home, but misses visiting, lacking more balance between lines. That yes, despite his instability football, is still involved in the fight to qualify for the next Europa League.

Finally, we can tell you that the “Lions” have added 2 wins, 2 draws and 8 downs as visitors, noting a few goals and conceding many in this condition (7 for and 17 against). It comes from losing 3-0 to Barcelona, ​​2-0 against Valencia and 1-0 against Sevilla. The last time he scored away from the San Mamés was against Leganés (0-0 draw).

After reviewing the details of this comparison I play for a victory of the local box for the following reasons: First because the Royal Society is a competitive and offensive by nature by the work of coach Sacristan. Second because the local box needs the points to keep fighting to qualify for the next Champions League. For this reason, he will try to maintain the style that is always reflected in Anoeta. And third because Athletic Bilbao is an irregular set when it acts away from home, demonstrating it by adding few points in this condition. Faced with this reality and knowing that the “Lions” leave spaces to mark, we believe that Real Sociedad can win even if it is for a goal difference.


Prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 1.80
