Football – Spain – La Liga Betting Tips

A win tonight for hosts Athletic Bilbao would see them move into the top six in La Liga when they take on lowly Real Betis at their San Mamés Barria on Thursday night.

Six wins from their last eight in the Spanish top flight have seen Athletic Bilbao move into contention for claiming a Europa League spot at the expense of surprise package in this season’s La Liga, Real Sociedad who currently occupy sixth place.

However, Athletic Bilbao are just two points adrift of Real Sociedad and they have a great chance of overhauling Sociedad as they hold a very decent home record of  12-3-2  33/16 but perhaps even more importantly, an impressive record of  8-1-1  25/8 at home against bottom half opposition to date.

Visitors Real Betis have proved they’re no pushovers in recent weeks as they’ve collected back-to-back wins over Eibar and Celta Vigo who are both top half outfits in La Liga, but it’s been Real Betis’ away record that has left them in the bottom half of the Spanish top flight so far this season.

Real Betis have struggled on their travels and this is reflected through an overall record of  4-1-11  16/32 and although they recorded a valuable win at Celta Vigo last time out on the road, they’d previously lost three on the trot on the road at Real Madrid, Espanyol and Las Palmas.

Dig a bit deeper and you’ll find that Real Betis also possess a poor record away at top half opposition with a record that stands at  2-6-10  10/32 so far this season, and with Athletic Bilbao chasing a Europa League spot, this record could get even worse.
