Kick-off at 13:00 UK/ 14:00 CET
Venue: Estadio Benito VillamarÃn (Sevilla).
It may opt out of the game Sunday in La Liga as Athletic Club made the long trip south to Seville to take on Real Betis at the Benito Villamarin. Both sides took the momentum into this one follows some recent results is impressive and even Betis, who took some time to go, now may begin to eye up the impetus for European football.
Their coach is under pressure Rubi great couple of weeks ago but he just seems to have managed to survive with some final winner may keep him in the job. The latest is Sergio Canales' free-kick against Valencia in the most of their latest outing at Benito Villamarin and Betis successfully backed that up with a win at Mallorca last time. Nabil marquee summer signing Fekir really starting to show its quality now and the coach seems to have found a system that helps Betis to put points on the board.
Athletic while probably the easiest team in the league to predict how they will line up and play, but they are much harder to stop. Gaizka Gartiano approach is clear for all to see and has helped guide Athletic to four wins from their last five league games as a continuation of a brief wobble. These results have helped propel Basque up to the 5th place but they still only average points per game on the road.
They have a strong new record against this opposition despite being reduced to 10 men in both meetings last season. However Athletic lost some key people here with Iker Muniain injury and Raul Garcia suspended. The duo has scored more than 50% of their side this term objectives.
Prediction
Real Betis has taken steps lately, win games back-to-back against Valencia and Real Mallorca.
The hosts have lost just one of their last five in the league, a welcome improvement under pressure.
Athletic Club have won their last three games LaLiga and has suffered just two away defeat all campaigns.
Prediction: Real Betis 2 2 Athletic Bilbao
