Cádiz - Athletic Bilbao predictions

Upsets do happen in football and it’s fair to say a home win here would be a definition of the case. Cádiz can count themselves lucky if they avoid getting completely destroyed by Athletic Bilbao in this match.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by Athletic Bilbao. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the La Liga but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

The previous round brought a narrow defeat for Cádiz. Betting predictions foresaw an uphill battle considering the home-field disadvantage and incredibly difficult matchup against Deportivo Alavés . The first half went as well as can be expected, but Deportivo Alavés pulled ahead as the game progressed and registed a narrow 1:0 victory.

Athletic lost their previous away game at Valencia to a 1-goal difference. Top online bookmakers predicted an away win at odds of 2.28, but it wasn’t meant to be. The first half ended with an even score, after which 1 goal was all Valencia needed.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Athletic are currently on a respectable string of 4 home victories. Even though they’ll be playing as visitors this time around, they should be feeling quite confident.

Top bookies online do not have too much faith into Cádiz’s ability to pull a surprise this Sunday in their relegation battle. The hosts need every point they can get but with The Lions priced at 1.79 betting odds, it’s pretty clear that the visitors have the upper hand.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, Athletic Bilbao walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 1.79 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Dani García, De Marcos, Mikel Vesga, while Fede, Luis Hernández, Roger Martí, Darwin Machís will not play for the home team.

Your best bet in this scenario is to go for a high-risk, high-reward bet. Namely, we suggest a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market. It’s definitely not a safe bet, but the 5.49 odds make up for it in sheer betting value.
