Match preview

Our model sees little between the sides: Avai 34%, the draw 29%, Athletic Club 38%.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 2.65 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.3 goals in total (1.09 for Avai, 1.17 for Athletic Club), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Avai sit 17th on 37 points; Athletic Club are 15th on 44.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
