Athletic Bilbao continue their quest for European football on Saturday when they visit Real Betis in La Liga.
Athletic Bilbao are currently sixth in Spain’s top flight, with a record of seven wins, nine draws and five losses putting them in the second qualifying spot for the Europa League, just two points off the Champions League berths.
They come into this match in good form, with a midweek Copa del Rey win over Mirandes extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to five games, and Athletic Bilbao will be confident of making it six without loss this weekend. They are 6/4 to do that by picking up three points from this outing.
Real Betis are fifth-from-bottom in the standings with a record of seven wins, two draws and 12 defeats leaving them just one point clear of the relegation zone.
They will be desperate to avoid an immediate return to the second tier, but if they are to do that they must find some winning form. Last weekend’s defeat to Mallorca means Real Betis are now winless since early January, with three of their last four games ending in defeat. They are 9/5 to register a much-needed victory here, while the draw is priced 11/5.
