Betis hosts Athletic Bilbao in round 31 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 21st at Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla)
Betis is in the sixth position in the standings (48 points after 31 rounds). The Sevillians have chalked up 14 victories, six draws, and 11 defeats. The Green-Whites compete with two opponents for the 5th place, which gives the right to play in the Europa League. With seven rounds to go before the end of the championship, Betis is one point behind Villarreal and one point ahead of Real Sociedad. Even though the Betikos have lost only one out of the last nine games, they have lost points in the last three rounds. Pellegrini's men tied with Elche (1-1) and Atletico Madrid (1-1), and last Sunday they extended this streak at home against Valencia (2-2). The hosts took the lead twice through the efforts of Nabil Fekir and Sergio Canales, but the Bats managed to win back thanks to goals from Goncalo Guedes and Carlos Soler (from the penalty spot).

Athletic Bilbao is in 11th place in the LaLiga table (37 points after 30 matches). The Lions have nine victories, ten draws, and 11 defeats. The team, which has not shown good results for several weeks, settled in the middle of the standings. The Basques gained their last victory at the beginning of March. After that, they have not won seven consecutive games in all tournaments. Due to the recession, the Lions missed the chance to win two trophies in two weeks. First, the men of Marcelino lost to Real Sociedad in the final of last year's Spanish Cup, postponed due to coronavirus (0-1). After that, the Basques failed in the decisive match of the 2020/21 Cup, losing 0-4 to Barcelona. The Lions held out for an hour, after which the Catalans sent four goals to the net of Unai Simon within 12 minutes.
Athletic is not in the best condition after a streak of sensitive setbacks, so Betis will have a good chance to take revenge on past losses and score important points in the home game. The Sevillians perform well at home. The Green-Whites have not lost five consecutive matches on their home field (two victories and three draws). The Basques don't look good away this season. In 15 away rounds, Athletic gained only two wins over Eibar (1-2) and Cadiz (0-4). In the upcoming match, you can expect at least two goals. This outcome was recorded in seven out of nine previous games of Betis and Athletic Bilbao.
Prediction for the match: Betis to win with +0.5 handicap and Over 1.5 goals scored
