Alaves vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction & Betting tips
An entertaining match on this day of Sunday is the one that will play Alavés and Athletic Bilbao for a new date of the Santander League.
Alaves :
In my opinion, there is no favorite on this occasion due to the collective and combative potential that he has thanks to the work of coach Pellegrino. For that reason and considering that the Basques have added several points in their last exits, we advise you to play a few euros to the pure tie. It paints to be a tactical duel from the initial pitazo.
Take into account that Alavés arrives well to this game after beating 1-4 to Betis in Benito Villamarín and to add 48 points in the general table. He has won 2 wins and 2 draws in his last 4 appearances, his goal is to close the tournament in the best possible way and reach the final with Barcelona.
On the other hand do not forget that the local team has mixed results in their field, lacking a little more effectiveness before their people (5 wins, 8 equal and 4 falls in total). It comes from losing 0-1 against Osasuna, to beat Villarreal 2-1 and to equalize 0-0 against Eibar.
Athletic Bilbao :
Continuing with the analysis you must know that Athletic Bilbao arrives toned to this game after thrashing 0-3 to Celta in Balaídos and to add its fourth victory in his last 5 presentations. At the moment it has 62 units in the table, being its main objective to be able to classify to the next Europa League. Little by little it is being shown as a more balanced set.
To conclude we tell you that the Basques have added good and bad results playing away from home, product of 6 wins, 2 parities and 9 drops in total (16 goals scored and 21 conceded on their fence). Of course, they have improved their numbers in their last 5 outings, after winning 4 and losing only 1. They come from beating 0-1 to Eibar and beating 0-3 to Celta.
After reviewing the details of this match I play for equality because of the following reasons: First because Alavés is a compact and balanced team thanks to the work of coach Pellegrino. Therefore, it is not surprising that he manages the times and that his lines are advanced when necessary. Second because the local cadre, despite having conceded some points in his stadium, is still competitive with his people. And third because Athletic Bilbao has added good results in their last outings, proving to be difficult to overcome in this condition. Faced with this reality and knowing that the process will be fought in the midfield, we believe that the match can finish 0-0 or 1-1 after the final whistle.
