Clear home favorite at San Mames
Clear home favorite at San Mames
Athletic Bilbao has secured four points from their first two group stage matches in the Europa League and will climb the standings if they take all three points tonight against Slavia Prague at San Mames.
Athletic Bilbao has had a solid start to their Europa League campaign with four points from the first two matches. A 1-1 draw in the opening away game against Roma was a great result, and the Basque side followed up with a 2-0 triumph at home against Dutch side AZ. Los Leones are also likely to compete for a Champions League spot through their La Liga campaign this season, currently sitting in fifth place after ten rounds.
Succesful bet’s in Wednesday’s Championship round
However, Slavia Prague cannot be completely written off. They have taken the top spot in their domestic league after an almost perfect start to the season with a 10-1-0 record in their first 11 matches. They are battling for the league title with the likes of Sparta Prague and Viktoria Plzen, but have already taken a firm grip on the title race. They exited the Champions League in qualifying against Lille, but opened their Europa League campaign with a strong 2-0 away win against Ludogorets.
Home Win (5 units)
Under 2.5 goals (2 units)
Slavia Prague has had an impressive start to their domestic league campaign and has performed decently in the opening Europa League matches. However, we believe last spring’s double-header against AC Milan (3-7 aggregate) gives a better indication of where they stand against the second-tier teams from Europe’s top leagues. Therefore, we see Athletic as clear favorites tonight and are betting confidently that all three points will stay at San Mames.
