👉 Our prediction is: Villarreal to win

Villarreal vs Athletic Bilbao has all the makings of a competitive battle between two sides that are both eyeing an important win. But we are ever so slightly leaning toward Villarreal to win on the 1X2 market.

Villarreal will enjoy home advantage, which they have capitalised on with their strong form at home. They remain good value to win with their odds, and we expect them to pay out those odds with all three points at home.

👉 Our prediction is: Athletic Bilbao to win the 1st half

Athletic Bilbao will head in to face Villarreal with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.

We are tipping Athletic Bilbao to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against Villarreal, at least until half-time.
