Sporting Lisbon - Ath Bilbao
This match is quite hard to tell which team gonna come on top.
Since Lisbon have the new coach, they haven't lost on their home field. While Ath Bilbao away form seems very inconsistent in the league games.
However, I think Bilbao is focusing their effort on Europa League.
We can see the result 4-2 away win for Ath Bilbao on Schalke home field. Well Schalke is a no joke team, esp. at home, they are really deadly. But Bilbao managed to crush them there.
While Lisbon home game scoreline is mostly 1-0. That indicates their defence is amazing.
Under2.5 goals? No, I don't believe this going to go under.
In last 15 matches Bilbao play, they failed to score only twice. Against Valencia and Barcelona. Well, we can rule out the match against Barcelona, forgive Bilbao failing to score.
And I don't think they will fail to score tonight.
And Lisbon, they've always scored at home since mid February when they have new manager.
However the odds for over and under are not good. Better bet on something else.
Without taking into consideration of match against Barcelona, Fernando Llorente, have 5 goals in last 5 match. Scoring twice when they played away against Schalke.
Pretty good record. I expect him to get into the score board tonight.
For you ManUtd fans, you've seen how Bilbao crushed them, that's not flukes. Home and Away.
I believe, tonight is going to be a long night for Lisbon.
Simply because the record Bilbao have shown in the UEFA EuropaLeague.
They played amazingly, beautifully. There are lots of talk that Bilbao is another Barca. But of course, they aren't that good, Bilbao do not have Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc. Also they don't have that amazing diving skills showed last night at Stamford Bridge.
Last 4 Bilbao's EuropaLeague matches, HT scoreline is 1-1. So I think they might repeat it this time, as Sporting scoring good portion of their home goals before HT too.
For Atletico Madrid - Valencia, I think I have to cast my money on Atletico. Valencia away games is inconsistent, after they held Mourinho's boys to a draw, they lost away 4-0 to Espanyol which is pretty ridiculous.
Last time these two met at Vicente Calderon, the scoreline was 0-0. While that time Atletico was a better team.
My bets for tonight.
- AthBilbao Win @2.62
- Asian Handicap. ATL Madrid-0.5 @2.075
(This is silly part of Bet365. This bet is exactly the same as bet on result, ATL to win, however the odds for ATL to win is 2.00)
Small bets :
- Scorecast Fernando Llorente&Bilbao win 2-1 @ 31.00 AND Scorecast Fernando Llorente&Bilbao win 3-1 @ 61.00
- HT/FT Correct score, HT draw 1-1 FT Ath Bilbao 2-1 @31.00 AND HT Draw 1-1 FT Ath Bilbao 3-1.
Good luck to all.
"May the force be with you"
