Leganés - Athletic Bilbao predictions

The 4.52 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

Most bookies see Athletic Bilbao as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 1.97, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

Leganés’s victory was priced at around 6.50 in the previous round, so the 2:0 defeat at the hands of Real Betis wasn’t much of a surprise. They managed to put up a decent fight in the first half, though, despite the home-field disadvantage and overwhelming odds against them.

The away team are coming off of a clean-cut HT/FT victory in their most recent La Liga outing. Playing as the away team at Las Palmas, they took an early lead and carried it forward to a solid $RESULT victory.

Athletic’s matches tend to avoid excitement. For example, their previous 2 home games ended with less than 1 goal in total at the final whistle.

Although the start of the season was decent enough for Leganés, they could stand to earn some more points. Unfortunately, they’re not likely to do so in this match, which limits their ambitions in the short term.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.49 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as 1xbet.
