At the stage of 1/8 play-offs teams are unlikely to make serious rotation in the squad, and the calendar allows Athletic Bilbao and Alaves to play today with the main squads.
Athletic Bilbao is now in good form - 5 wins in a row, including a home win over Atletico Madrid with a score of 2-0, in parallel, the team beat Eibar away in the cup with a score of 0-3. It is worth noting that the team is conceding extremely few goals this season.
Alaves after failures with Girona and Real Madrid also showed good results - an away draw with Real Sociedad, victory over Betis in the cup, and in the last match Alaves beat Sevilla 2-3 away.
But today we do not expect a lot of goals, as Athletic Bilbao in such games builds the game from defence, and Alaves rarely scores in face-to-face meetings.
Prediction: 2 goals to be scored or fewer. We recommend the “Under 2.5” bet, odds 1.88
