Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Over 2.5 Total match goals – 1.91
Despite losing the previous game against Atletico Madrid, Betis are still one of the best teams in the competition, with a very good attacking potential and playing at home in this game, which is a very important factor. Athletic, who have lost their last two games away from Bilbao, will be up against them. We see Betis as slight favourites for this match.
Betis are currently the third team whose games have had more than 2.5 total goals on more occasions, as of the 27 games they have played so far, 16 of them ended with at least three goals. As a home team, the numbers are very similar, as out of 14 matches, eight had at least three total goals.
With 84 total goals in 27 games, Betis’ duels are one of the liveliest in the competition this season, maintaining an average of 3.11 total goals per game. Quite a high goal average.
In fact, Betis are the second team whose games have had more than 3.5 total goals so far, as of the 27 games they have played so far, 11 of them have had at least four total goals.
In Betis’ last five matches there have been 18 goals, of which ten in their favour and eight against. Defensively there has been a drop in Betis’ level, as they have conceded at least one goal in six consecutive games.
Athletic Bilbao come into this game on the back of a 3-1 win over Levante. The Basque team’s matches have gone from being games of few chances and goals to the complete opposite, as their last five games have seen a total of 20 goals.
The curious thing about Athletic Bilbao is that their last nine goals have come after 61 minutes of play, making it four games in a row without scoring a single goal in the first half.
In addition, Athletic Bilbao have now played four away games in a row in which their away games have ended with at least four total goals.
For Betis, Martín Montoya and Víctor Camarasa are absent due to injury.
