Athletic Bilbao will welcome Real Betis to the San Mamés Stadium in La Liga on Sunday. Although Betis have registered just one more win (11) than the hosts, they have a nine-point lead over them in the league table.

Lehoiak have endured a poor run of form and are winless in their last four games in all competitions. They failed to score for the third-straight match last week, losing 3-0 away to Girona.

Los Verdiblancos are winless in their last four league games and were held to a 1-1 draw by Celta Vigo in their previous league outing. Héctor Bellerín scored a 49th-minute equalizer for them.

They returned to winning ways after five games in all competitions on Thursday, recording a 4-0 home triumph over Panathinaikos in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 second leg. Aitor Ruibal and Sofyan Amrabat scored in the first half, while Cucho Hernández and Antony added goals after the break.

Athletic Bilbao vs Real Betis Prediction

Lehoiak have lost their last three games in all competitions while also failing to score in that period. Interestingly, they have failed to score in two of their last three home games, which is cause for concern. Notably, they have won 10 of their last 12 home meetings against Betis.

Ernesto Valverde welcomes back Unai Gómez and Alejandro Rego to the squad for this match, but Aitor Paredes remains sidelined. Maroan Sannadi, Beñat Prados, and Unai Egiluz will miss this match, while Nico William is also expected not to be risked here.

Los Verdiblancos kept their first clean sheet in seven games on Thursday and will look to build on that form. They have lost their last two away games in all competitions, failing to score in both.

Diego Llorente is back in contention to start after being absent against Celta Vigo. Manuel Pellegrini remains without the services of Isco and Giovani Lo Celso.

Considering the current form of the two teams and recent goalscoring record, a low-scoring draw might ensue.

Prediction: Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Real Betis
