If you are not sure what is the best bet for Real Betis vs Athletic Bilbao, check our favourite betting tips for this duel:
Real Betis to Win
After losing to Sevilla and Atletico Madrid in the last two round, Real Betis fell down to the fifth place in the standings. Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao is currently just six points behind them in the eighth place.
So, this game could go either way, but our prediction is for Real Betis to win. They need this win to break a three-game losing streak in all competitions, which is too much for a team that's been in great form the entire season.
Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao to Draw at Half Time
While we expect Real Betis to win, we don't think that they will have an easy job against Athletic Bilbao. After all, this is a preview of the Copa del Rey final that awaits us later, so a close game is expected.
With that in mind, our next prediction is for Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao to draw at half time, which has already happened in the last three h2h meetings between these two teams.

Team news, recent form, and possible lineups for Real Betis vs Athletic Bilbao
We expect to see a very close and exciting duel between these two clubs, so let's take a more detailed look at both teams ahead of their game:
Real Betis
While Real Betis is still having a fantastic season, the team is in a bit of a poor form right now since they've lost their last two games in La Liga and the first leg Eintracht in Europa League at home. So, that's three straight losses for a team that is currently fifth in La Liga and Copa del Rey finalist and a win against Athletic Bilbao is much needed.
Meanwhile, Real Betis is still without Alex Moreno, Martin Montoya, and Victor Camarasa who have long-term injuries, as well as freshly-injured Hector Bellerin.
Real Betis predicted lineup:
Silva – Sabaly, Bartra, Gonzalez, Miranda – Carvalho, Rodriguez – Fekir, Canales, Juanmi – Iglesias
Athletic Bilbao
Failing to make Copa del Rey final for third time in a row was a huge letdown for the Basque team, but they are at least doing well in La Liga recently with four wins and two losses in the last six games. Athletic Bilbao is now eighth in La Liga, but they are just eight points behind the fourth spot that leads to Champions League, so it seems that they will fight for European football next season.
Another positive for the Basque team is the short injury list, although their defence will suffer by the absence of Inigo Martinez who is unlikely to play in the next game.
Athletic Bilbao predicted lineup:
Simon – De Marcos, Vivian, Alvarez, Berchiche – Berenguer, Vencedor, Vesga, Muniain – Sancet, Williams
