Eibar vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
The closing match of the Round 33 will take place at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua, where Eibar will face Athletic Bilbao. We all have been waiting for opportunity like this to place our bets and earn some serious money, read our previews and place the right bets.
Eibar still have the slight chance to reach UEFA Europa League since they are only three points away from the top six. They are eight with 50 points collected throughout the season; however, their excellent form suffered a setback in the previous round when Real Betis beat them 2:0. In 16 home performances in the current campaign, the hosts registered nine wins, three draws and four defeats, scoring 27 goals in the process while allowing 19. Since in 5 out of last 6 Eibar’s home games three or more goals were scored, we might witness another high-scoring game at Ipurua. Eibar managed to keep nine clean sheets this season already. Sergio Enrich is Eibar’s most important player as he scored 10 goals while assisting 6 times to his teammates.
Athletic Bilbao are very underwhelming in visits this season – in 15 games, they snatched only 14 points from four wins and two draws, while they were beaten in the remaining nine outings. They currently occupy the sixth position with 53 points, so this could be the crucial match towards the UEFA Europa League spot for both sides. Bilbao curshed Las Palmas in the previous round at San Mames, managing to score five while allowing one in their net. The guests have gone 13 consecutive matches without a draw in the domestic league. Bilbao have their own star, Adruiz scored 16 this season and he is by far the central figure of the guests.
In the last five duels, Bilbao was superior with 3 wins, while only one meeting went to Eibar. In this season’s reverse, they comfortably beat Eibar with 3:1 at Estadio San Mames. Read our betting preview and make right decision.

Eibar vs Athletic Bilbao: Prediction
We definitely expect to witness a high-scoring affair between two attackingly oriented sides.
We also must see the value in backing the hosts to get a positive result because the bookies price them up at 8/5 to pick up three points.
