Betis

The "Green and Whites" currently sit in seventh place in the league, just one point behind the sixth spot, with a game in hand. However, climbing higher than sixth place will prove challenging. This week, Betis was eliminated from the Conference League after drawing 1-1 away against Dinamo Zagreb, following a 0-1 home defeat. In the last La Liga round, the team failed to secure a win at home against Alaves, resulting in a 0-0 draw. Betis is also on a four-match unbeaten streak in the league.

Athletic Bilbao

The Basque side has had a decent season so far and is in a real battle for a top-four finish in La Liga, currently occupying the fifth position, trailing the top quartet by just two points. In the last round, Athletic managed to defeat the surprising Girona 3-2 at home. They are unbeaten in their last four league matches, accumulating 8 points during this period. Additionally, the team is still competing in the Copa del Rey, having reached the semifinals by defeating Atletico Madrid 1-0 away in the first leg.

Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History

• The teams engaged in a fierce battle in the first leg, with Betis leading 2-0 away by the 10th minute. However, Athletic managed to score three goals in response in the first half, ultimately securing a 4-2 home victory.
• Betis has suffered only one home defeat in La Liga this season, with 6 wins and as many draws.
• Athletic has had mixed results away from home.

Betis vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction

While there was no clear favorite initially, Athletic now holds a slight advantage. This shift in odds may be due to Betis playing midweek matches, leading to fatigue and less time for recovery. Athletic aims for a Champions League spot, making it crucial for them to secure maximum points in such encounters. A draw seems highly likely in this match, but we'll bet on Athletic Bilbao's victory with a level handicap.
