Atl. Madrid – Ath Bilbao Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (21.05.2017)

Prediction for Atl. Madrid – Ath Bilbao

Both teams score and over 2.5 goals @ 2.25

A bet that I find very interesting is to see at least 3 goals between the 2 teams scoring both in the farewell of the Calderón. Athletic visit the red-knuckle fief so as to get into the Europa League next season.

Atl. Madrid

We arrived at the farewell of the Calderon, which is why it should be a good incentive for the Simeone team to fire the stadium with a new victory even though they do not play anything in this match. To doubt the goals that can bring the Griezmann, Gameiro, Saúl or Carrasco would be impracticable. Recall that for this match there will be no box office for Athletic de Bilbao fans, so it is another reason to fire the season well.

One of the reasons that makes me think of over goals are the low ones. Vrsaliko, Juanfran are injured by injury besides the known one of Augusto Fernandez to which are added Godín, Filipe Luis and Giménez, all by sanction. So they only have Savic and Lucas Hérnandez among the available headlines and the Cholo will have to look for reinforcements in the quarry.

On the other hand will Athletic need the victory if they want to be in the Europa League. At the moment he is 1 point away from Villarreal and with golaverage lost and tied to points with Real Sociedad but with the golaverage won, so a victory ensures them European competitions and would be 5º if Villarreal also does not win in Mestalla (the 5th Goes directly to the phase of groups of Europa League whereas the 6º goes to the previous one). Still remaining 7th could play European competitions although should wait for the Barsa to win the Copa del Rey facing the Alaves.

Ath Bilbao

In sentimental this party marks the return of Raul Garcia to the Calderón where he continues being well-loved and also the last party with the shirt of Bilbao of Iraizoz that leaves the equipment after 10 years in the lion picture.

To talk about a goal at Athletic is to talk about Aduriz. The 36-year-old forward is the pichchi of the team with 16 goals well above the second top scorer of the team that is Raul Garcia with 10 goals and Muniaín with 7 goals. A very powerful aerial game where Aduriz can become a nightmare for Simeone’s. Those of Valverde only have to Balenziaga and Saborit like losses by injury.

If it were not because it is the farewell of Calderon would have tried a higher fee as it is the Aduriz goal that is paid at 3.40 but that both teams score and that there are at least 3 goals I think it has good value.
