Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips

Athletic Bilbao began the season with a 1-0 victory over a poor Barcelona side as club legend Aduriz came off the bench to score one of the goals of the season with his first touch of the ball. They defended well as Barcelona could only get 2 shots on target despite having 72% possession. Bilbao however drew their next game 1-1 against Getafe as they struggled to create much against a side that had the joint 2nd best defense last season.

Real Sociedad have picked up Portu, Isak, Sagnan and Odegaard this transfer window to add to an already exciting squad that contains the likes of Oyarzabal, Januzaj, Merino and talented 17-year-old prospect Barrenetxea. Real Sociedad too have 4 points from their opening two fixtures as they began with a respectable draw against Valencia in their first match before taking a narrow win against newly promoted Mallorca.

The Basque derby is usually a closely fought contest, though Real Sociedad have dominated recently, winning the last 3 fixtures in a row, taking advantage of Bilbao’s poor last season. However things will be a lot more closely matched this time around and we expect a low scoring 1-1 draw with a goal for both sides as by looking at the last 10 games between the two sides, we see an average of 2 goals per game with both teams scoring in 5 of the games.
