Deportivo Alavés - Athletic Bilbao betting tips and odds

Deportivo Alavés are no strangers to surprises but with 3.70 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

Athletic Bilbao should be able to win this one, but such an outcome won’t come easily. The 2.25 betting odds on them winning indicate that it will be a close match - Deportivo Alaves are no pushovers.

When it comes to Deportivo Alaves’s previous La Liga clash, things went the wrong way from the off. They were never the favourites to claim an away win (4.50) but it’s fair to say their fans did not expect to see them lose Rayo Vallecano. They fell behind in the first half and the game was already settled.

The Lions put in a rather uninspiring performance in the first half of their previous home game against Cádiz. The latter 45 minutes, on the other hand, saw them take home a stunning 3:0 victory.

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

Athletic Bilbao netted 7 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

With 6 points earned so far, the home team are 14th in the standings. That’s a decent start and it puts them just 3 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot. That said, they’re not very likely to earn any points in this upcoming match.

No suspensions or injuries means both teams will have their full lineups available for a highly anticipated matchup.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.52. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
