Ath Bilbao vs Betis Prediction & Betting tips
The current 2020/21 season brings many surprising results, especially in the Spanish LaLiga. The two great powers of Spanish football, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, can by no means prove their supremacy. Both teams had to cope with further setbacks this weekend. The tenth matchday in Spain will be concluded on Monday evening with the duel between Athletic Bilbao and Betis Sevilla.
There are two teams facing each other who certainly have the right to squint towards Europe. A current look at the table in LaLiga shows the two teams in midfield. However, Spanish football is more balanced this season than it has been for a long time and with a win a huge leap in the table can be made.
When it comes to the best bookmakers on the market, the tip on a home win is the most likely option in the duel between Athletic Bilbao and Betis Sevilla.
Athletic Bilbao :
For a long time, Athletic Bilbao fans had hoped for the return of their prodigal son Javi Martinez this summer of transfers. But the Basque stayed with the big FC Bayern Munich for the time being, but a return to his home country seems to have only been postponed. In return, Alex Berenguer, an actor who was most recently under contract with FC Turin, was able to be guided back home. Otherwise, the team was reinforced again by many top talents from the region who have been trained in Bilbao for years.
Athletic Bilbao, one of the founding members of the Spanish LaLiga, which has never been relegated, gambled away at the end of last season to return to Europe. In the last five league games, Bilbao could only collect three points.
This season the Garitano-Elf presents itself better than last year, but the fans can’t be really satisfied with three wins from eight games. With nine points, the Basques are currently in 14th place in the table and are only two points above the ominous line. The team still has a catch-up game up its sleeve, but points cannot be planned in spite of the crisis at Barcelona against Blaugrana.
The Basques have been particularly strong at home in recent years, but in the recent past this strong balance has started to crumble. A look at the last nine home games in the Spanish LaLiga in the San Mames Stadium delivers a completely balanced home record with four wins, one draw and four defeats.
In the minds of many fans, and also the bookmaker, the home strength is still there. This is certainly one of the reasons why the tip on the home side is favored at the end of the tenth game day between Athletic Bilbao and Betis Sevilla. In view of the underlying statistics and the failure of left-back Yuri Berchiche, betting on the home win is not advisable.
Betis Sevilla :
The expectations in the Betis Sevilla camp were huge last season after the team was reinforced with well-known players. 15th place in the final bill was a pure disappointment and accordingly it was not surprising that a new head coach was presented at the start of the season. With the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, Betis Sevilla was able to lure a well-known player to Andalusia.
The hosts from the Basque Country celebrated three wins and five defeats in eight games. Betis Sevilla have an almost identical record before the direct duel. The Pellegrini-Elf have no catch-up game up their sleeves and have already played nine games. A draw does not appear in the statistics for the green-whites either. Four wins, two at home and two abroad, were celebrated – the remaining five games were lost. With the numbers of both teams, no tip should be given on a draw between Athletic Bilbao and Betis Sevilla.
The Pellegrini-Elf stands for spectacular games this season. This means that the Andalusians, together with the bats of Valencia CF, currently deliver the highest value in the Spanish LaLiga.
Betis Sevilla is particularly worried about its own defense, old goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has already been behind him 17 times this season. Only the penultimate Celta Vigo has a weaker defense with 19 goals. Before the international break, central defender Mandi was sent off against Barcelona and will therefore be absent. With veteran Victor Ruiz, however, an adequate replacement is available.
