Athletic Bilbao - Mallorca predictions

With the 1.53 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Mallorca, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Athletic Bilbao and the fact that Mallorca are given 7.04 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

Team from Bilbao’s latest away game at Villarreal was an inconclusive stalemate which persisted throughout the runtime. Considering they were visitors playing against a much stronger team, however, the : result isn’t too bad for Athletic Bilbao.

Top online bookmakers gave Mallorca odds of 3.57 to win their previous game, meaning it was bound to be a close call. They took an early lead and proceeded to turn it into a $RESULT victory, much to the delight of their home supporters.

Mallorca’s recent matches have been relatively uneventful. The previous two, for instance, ended with less than 2 goals at the final whistle.

With most bookmakers pricing an away win at 7.04, Mallorca will have a very hard time earning some points in San Mamés Barria. However, they’ll have to try their best while they still have time. They’re currently number 19th in the standings, which would eventually get them relegated.

A clash between these two teams last season ended in a stalemate. Overall, this was worse news for Team from Bilbao, who are widely considered the stronger team.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.53 odds offer a decent return.
