Athletic Bilbao - Cádiz betting tips and odds

With the odds set at 1.45 for a home win, Athletic Bilbao winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Cádiz will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Athletic had a difficult trip in the last round of the La Liga. Despite being the 2.65 underdogs, they kept their rivals on their toes for the first 45 minutes. However, things went south in the second period when they went a goal behind and recorded a Celta de Vigo defeat.

Cádiz are coming off from a decisive home victory against Mallorca. At odds of 3.00 on a home win, few expected such a result – though Cádiz already established dominance in the first half.

Experts have pointed at Athletic’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 La Liga games.

Cádiz have a record of uneventful away matches. Specifically, their previous 2 games as visitors featured 1 goal or less.

Tip bookmakers are pricing an away win at 8.50, which makes Cádiz’s short-term prospects quite grim. They’re already in the relegation zone with just 19 points earned in 20 games, and the competition this season is heating up.

Athletic Bilbao already have a victory over Cádiz on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the La Liga, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

David Gil, Juan Cala, José Mari, Jon Garrido, Víctor Chust, Zaldúa have all been forced to stay out of this match due to various injuries. That’s one more disadvantage that the visitors will have to deal with on top of being the less likely team to win.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1.83 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
