Real Betis vs Athletic Club Analysis
Real Betis Preview
The pressure will be on Real Betis coming into this weekend, as they face a must-win contest in their battle to finish in a European spot. They come into this round sitting ten points off Bilbao in the standings, and they could drop to eighth in La Liga if they are beaten on Sunday.
The Betis standings currently see them sitting seventh, but a victory could lift them up to sixth. Their recent form is solid coming into this round after avoiding defeat across their last four. However, they have picked up just two wins over that period.
Scoring goals has been an issue for Bilbao in recent weeks, as they have netted just two goals in their last three matches across all competitions. Issues in the final third were evident once again last weekend after playing out a 0-0 draw against Alaves.
One of the key La Liga team stats to consider this weekend is the fact that Betis have recorded six of their nine wins in home matches this term. They have also conceded fewer goals when playing in front of their home fans.
Athletic Club Preview
It has been a solid season to this point for Bilbao, and they could achieve something special this term if they are able to maintain their form. At present, Bilbao sits fifth in the standings, and they could end the round in the top four with a win this weekend.
Their form on the Athletic schedule in recent weeks has been consistent after going four without defeat in the competition. They have also picked up victories in two of their last three matches in La Liga.
However, much of their success this term has come in home matches. On the road, they have recorded four wins, which is six fewer than they have managed in home matches.
But, the La Liga player stats show that Bilbao are ranking among the best performers in the competition. That is evident based on the fact that they have suffered just one league defeat in their last 15 matches.
Real Betis vs Athletic Club Head to Head
Bilbao landed a 4-2 win in the first meeting between the sides this term. That win ended a three-game winless sequence against Betis. However, the visitors are without a win on the road against Betis in four visits since December 2017.
