Prediction Alaves vs Athletic Bilbao

Deportivo Alavés enjoys the field advantage in the game, but has yet to win a home win so far this season. With a series of consecutive victories, the home team does not represent a great danger for the visitors in the next match, at the Mendizorrotza Stadium.

Athletic Club are not far behind as they have also lost two of their three league matches so far. But they will be missing out on their victory last season. However, the defeat at home in the last game of the calendar will have some impact on the morale of the players.

The match is turning anyone's game around here in Vitória-Gasteiz, and the best bet for bettors will be a double chance that favors both teams in the match. As only two of the last five h2h matches ended in a draw, the chance of a draw could be slim.

Also, the host has given 2 blank sheets so far this year and they were both home. Bilbao scored 2 goals in their two matches and conceded two clean sheets in three matches. Based on these stats, knocking down more than 1,5 goals is probably a suitable option for punters.
