Real Betis vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

• This is Bilbao’s first trip of the season.
• Bilbao have won just one of the last seven head-to-head meetings (D3, L3).

Home comforts key for Betis

Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao clash in La Liga on Sunday as two of the division’s unbeaten sides meet.

Betis have five points on the board after three games, while Bilbao have a maximum six points from two games so far.

Betis come into the game as underdogs and they may be able to pull off a minor upset by claiming the spoils here.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have been strong at home for some time with seven wins and just one defeat in their last 11 games at Villamarin Stadium, while this is Bilbao’s first road game of the new campaign.

Betis also have an impressive record against the visitors with three wins and just one defeat in the last seven meetings. The most recent head-to-head game was a 2-2 draw in a corresponding fixture last season, where Bilao twice had to come from behind to steal a point – albeit on the balance of play a draw was probably a fair result.

Betis have scored one goal in each of their three games this season and they’ve scored exactly one goal in five consecutive competitive games going back to last term. The hosts might need a clean sheet to get three points over the line so take a chance on a 1-0 Betis victory.
