Real Betis – Athletic Bilbao, Prediction – Copa del Rey

🙌 Betis are getting better and better and are even favorites against Bilbao

A new and somewhat expected victory for Real Betis in La Liga. It came on Monday, 3 days ago, against Osasuna with a goal by the usual suspect, Borja Iglesias, which turned out to be the only goal in the match. This temporarily secured Betis’ 7th place. Apart from the fact that the team is in perhaps its best form since the beginning of the season, what impresses us in this team is that it shows a really huge character in its matches.

⏩ Athletic have been playing very attacking lately

Athletic Bilbao has always relied on a solid defense and a more defensive game. Not at the moment. Literally, every one of their last 7 matches went through goals in both nets and at least 3 goals in the matches. Athletic Bilbao definitely impressed in their matches for the Super Cup, and then aside from the pleasant surprise, Alcoyano, for the Copa del Rey.

Betis seem incredibly confident in their abilities.

 Expert view: Although Betis is the team that rested one day less, we believe that it is in Bilbao that fatigue is greater. Athletic Bilbao is not such a consistent team and we do not think that it is able to play at its best level in many consecutive matches, especially for the cups. After the feats for the Super Cup, we expect a certain decline in the form of the team and that is why in this clash we will bet on Betis to qualify at 1.70.
