Athletic Bilbao vs Arsenal betting tips and predictions for a 20/1 bet builder in Tuesday’s Champions League fixture. We have predicted a team to win, a player to score, and a player to be carded in the match.
Betting odds
- Arsenal are 9/10 for the win away from home
- The draw is 5/2
- Athletic Bilbao are 3/1 for the win at home
Arsenal have had a decent start to their league campaign, with three wins from their opening four games, with their only defeat coming against champions Liverpool. They’ll be looking to have a successful spell in the Champions League this season, and are 7/1 to win it.
Bilbao are unlikely to go far in the competition with the many world class teams they’re competing against. They are 80/1 to win the Champions League.
Athletic Bilbao vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tip
Athletic Bilbao vs Arsenal Predictions
- Arsenal to win
- Both teams to score – no
- Viktor Gyokores to score
- Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta to be booked
Team to win Prediction
Arsenal are in good form and I’m backing them to win on the road in this Champions League fixture. The Gunners defeated Bilbao 3-0 in the final of the Emirates Cup just over a month ago, and I think Mikel Arteta’s side will have too much for the La Liga outfit again in this one.
Both Teams to Score Tip
Arsenal’s defence has been excellent so far this season. They have conceded just one goal in their last five competitive fixtures, in that 1-0 defeat to Liverpool. Bilbao haven’t scored in their last two matches. I think both teams to score? no, is a good bet here.
Player to Score Anytime Tip
I’m backing Arsenal’s new striker Viktor Gyokeres to score again here. In his four league appearances, he has scored three goals, including one last time out against Nottingham Forest. He was on target last time out against Bilbao, and I think there’s a good chance of him scoring again here.
Player to be Carded Tip
Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta is who we’re taking to be carded in this fixture. He has already been carded once in La Liga this season, in just three appearances. He picked up five league bookings last season, along with two cards in the Europa League. It’ll be a difficult game for him here, and I think the midfield battle will be incredibly tough. I think he will make several fouls and is good odds for a booking.
