Athletic Bilbao look to stop falling further off in the race for Europe in La Liga when they welcome Real Betis. Nine points separate the two teams heading into this matchday 29 tie, with fifth-placed Betis having the advantage over their 10th-placed hosts. Read on for our match prediction.
Athletic Bilbao have tapered off in recent weeks and will be out to arrest their current winless run. The Lions haven’t won in four games and have lost in their last three outings.
In those three games, they have failed to score but conceded five times. Ernesto Valverde’s men were hammered 3-0 away to Girona last weekend. The loss left them on 35 points, six below the top six.
Real Betis haven’t won any of the last three meetings with Bilbao. They were defeated 2-1 in the reverse game back in August. But as they are coming off a big win in Europe, they will be confident of ending their winless run in this fixture.
El Glorioso progressed to the quarter-finals of the Europa League thanks to a 4-0 whitewash of visiting Panathinaikos in midweek. That win came in the second leg of their round of 16 tie and snapped a run of five games without a win.
Betis now seek to replicate that form and return to winning ways in the league and maintain their hold on fifth. Manuel Pellegrini’s men have accumulated 44 points and are just three points ahead of their closest challengers.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Betis Prediction
Our prediction for Athletic Bilbao v Real Betis is BTTS. This match sees two teams face off that are seeking to return to winning ways in La Liga. Betis haven’t won any of their last four matches in the league, while Bilbao have gone three games without a victory.
With each team harboring aspirations for Europe, we should witness a match filled with plenty of goalmouth action. Betis are a strong attacking team and scored four goals in midweek in Europe. Bilbao have seen their sharpness in attack taper off recently, but playing at home will have them extra motivated.
