Athletic Bilbao vs. Betis: Current situation
Athletic Bilbao is a team that has only players that have something to do with Basque, and despite that, they are still managing to create a respectful squad that is seemingly unbeatable at home. Athletic’s aggressiveness makes them a very fun team to watch, as they are keeping the foot on the gas for the entire 90 minutes. They will need another of those impressive performances to make another step towards the best four teams in the league.
Betis is the team with the most fans from the Andalusia region and is off to another promising season. They have gone from being one of the highest scoring teams in the league in recent years to a defensively oriented team that often focuses on keeping the ball away from their box rather than scoring on the other side of the pitch. Whether that tactic will bring them anything good from the visit to Bilbao, we are about to see on Sunday.
Athletic Bilbao Stats & Form
Athletic Bilbao is sitting in fifth place in the standings with 18 points coming of 5 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses so far in the season. They have been pretty solid at home, winning 3 of 6 games at Estadio San Mamés. After an unlucky loss in Girona, Athletic Bilbao has regrouped and is playing pretty well in recent weeks. After an impressive performance in a 4-1 win over Espanyol, they defeated Slavia Prague in the Europa League before playing a scoreless draw on the road in Mallorca in the last matchday. Inaki Williams is the top player on the team with 3 goals and 4 assists so far in the season.
Betis Stats & Form
Just like Athletic Bilbao, Betis has 18 points in 11 games. They are among the worst offensive teams in the league, scoring only one goal per game, but their defense has allowed only nine so far in the season. Betis lost back-to-back games by 1-0 against Legia Warsaw in the Conference League and, more importantly, against the city rival Sevilla in La Liga. Since then, they bounced back with two wins against Osasuna and Atletico Madrid in the domestic competition and a 1-1 draw in Copenhagen.
Athletic Bilbao – Betis: Head to Head
When it comes to head-to-head meetings, Liverpool has been the far superior opponent winning 19 of the last 32 games played. Revenge will be on the minds of Liverpool players here, the last time these two teams met Crystal Palace shocked the world in a 1-0 victory at Anfield. The home team failed to capitalize on the fact that they had 70% of possession and 21 shots on goal in that game.

Betting tip and prediction: Athletic Bilbao - Betis (03.11.2024)
Athletic Bilbao and Betis are tied for fifth place in La Liga, which makes this game very interesting to follow. The outcome of this game may set the tone for the rest of the season for both teams especially if someone losses this game. There is no doubt that both teams have the quality to beat anybody in the league on a good night and it will be interesting to see who will be more inspired on Sunday. Athletic Bilbao comes into this one as a slight favorite since they are one of the best home teams in La Liga, and Betis knows it as they have won only one game at Estadio San Mamés in the last ten years. The team from Basque is playing very offensively, especially at home, which is the exact opposite of the playing style Betis has. Los Verdiblancos are going on this visit with many injured players, which puts them in a difficult situation. Striker Aitor Ruibal, midfielders William Carvalho, Giovani Lo Celso, and Marc Roca are all out. Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, has no such problems as they have their full roster available. The visitors from Andalusia’s capital are the ones who will try to hold the ball in the midfield and try to score from fast breaks, but that scenario will not happen on Sunday. Athletic Bilbao’s aggressiveness is not something they will be able to deal with, and we go with the home team to win the three points in this game.
