Athletic Club vs Real Betis match preview
Two of the leading contenders for European qualification go head-to-head in Bilbao.
Real Betis were smashed 4-0 by Barcelona on Saturday night, falling apart towards half time, with Edgar González sent off before Barça immediately scored twice in three minutes, ending the game as a contest.
That’s now three matches without a win for Manuel Pellegrini’s men, who’ve only taken four points from the last 18 available.
This has, pretty much, ended los Verdiblancos’ hopes of Champions League qualification, given that they’re nine points adrift fourth placed Real Sociedad.
Now, Béticos need points to avoid slipping out of the top six all together.
That’s very much a possibility given that hosts Athletic Club would leapfrog their visitors should they claim a victory in Bilbao.
How crucial could the points turn out to be?
Overall, Ernesto Valverde’s team have lost just one of their seven, accumulating 14 points from those outings.
Another victory here would leave Athletic in a great position, as they seek to return to Europe for the first time since 2017/18.
Who will win this crucial clash at San Mamés?
