Betis hosts Athletic Bilbao in round 16 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, December 8th at Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla)
I don’t understand what the bookmakers were guided by in this meeting, offering such a decent coefficient on Athletic Bilbao, which looks certainly no worse than very unstable Betis. Moreover, the defensive orders of the hosts are still far from ideal. For example, they have never kept a clean sheet at the native stadium "Benito Villamarin" in the current regular season. The White-Greens have already conceded plentiful goals from not so formidable Valladolid (twice), Leganes (the main outsider), Getafe, Levante, Eibar, Celta, etc. That is, Betis conceded from the teams that are floating noticeably lower than the Basques in the standings!

As for Bilbao, it has been holding one of the strongest seasons in recent years, quite reasonably claiming to be in the coveted top four in the standings now. At the same time, sensing quick fame and money, the attacking link of the Lions noticeably perked up in recent matches, having played three of the last four matches for a high rating. Athletic beat Espanyol (a big 3:0 victory), Granada (2:0), Levante (2:1) and Osasuna, which is usually very unyielding in Pamplona (2: 1)!
I think that Athletic Bilbao, which has gained a serious cruising move, will not have much difficulty in the upcoming match with mediocre Real Betis. The Basques are likely to replenish their goal box with one more goal scored. Finally, I will add that the White-Greens have been letting their goalkeeper be offended for 10 matches in a row (except one).
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to score over 0.5 goals
