Verdict
Taking into account the head-to-head results and the current form of both teams, Athletic Club Bilbao appears to have a slight advantage going into this match. Their recent performance shows two consecutive victories, highlighting their current form. In contrast, Real Betis has struggled in their last few matches, which may affect their confidence.
For those considering betting options, a sensible wager could be on Athletic Club Bilbao to win, given their solid form and better position in the league table. However, considering the historical trend of closely contested matches, a bet on both teams to score (BTTS) might also provide good returns, as both teams have shown they can find the net.
