HT/FT - 2/2

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

If you're expecting Real Sociedad vs Athletic to be a goal fest, think again.

We predict the total to remain under 2.5 goals in this match as neither side figures to have enough attacking firepower to give the opposition's defence much trouble.

👉 Our prediction is: Athletic win or draw

Even though Athletic will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Athletic to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Athletic does have its share of flaws, but Real Sociedad has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Athletic.
