Ibiza – Ath Bilbao Picks & Prediction
Ibiza - Ath Bilbao Prediction, Picks and Tips
Ibiza has played twelve games in the 2020/21 season so far. The men of the Balearic Islands have not lost a single one of these games. Not only do they lead their league, but they also eliminated Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey with 5: 2. But now, with Athletic Bilbao, the newly crowned overall winner of the Supercopa de Espana is visiting the Estadi Municipal de Can Misses.
In the run-up to the match between Ibiza and Athletic Bilbao, the odds of the bookmakers deflect towards the guests, as the betting base odds comparison shows.
In the league in particular, things weren't too rosy for the Leones. Bilbao is only twelfth in La Liga with just four points ahead of a relegation zone. The Basques have lost half of their games, but under their new coach Marcelino were able to report back impressively with victories over Real and Barca in the Supercopa.
The latest upswing in connection with the class difference between the two teams is, in our opinion, the decisive factor in betting on the Basques' away win at Ibiza against Athletic Bilbao.
Unión Deportiva Ibiza is the successor club to Ibiza-Eivissa, founded in 2015, which was briefly represented in the country's second-highest division from 2007 to 2009. Due to high debts, the club was then liquidated in the summer of 2010.
Five years later, UD Ibiza took over and has been making big strides into the top leagues ever since. It took the footballers from the Balearic Islands just three years to advance from the regional leagues to Segunda División Grupo B, in which they have been playing since 2018.
Last season the light blue and whites played a strong season, which they were able to finish in second place in the final table. At the same time, they fought their way to the sixteenth finals on their Copa del Rey debut, where they even led 1-0 against defending champions Barca, but ended up losing out 2-1.
After a spectacular 5-2 victory over Celta Vigo, they are currently back in the sixteenth-finals and face another kind of defending champion in the form of Bilbao. The Basques will finally contest the pre-season cup final in April, which is still open due to the pandemic.
26 of 30 possible points at 15: 1 goals in league operations
In the league it could hardly be better for Juan Carlos Carcedo's team. After completing ten league games, the men from the Balearic Islands are still completely unbeaten, scored 26 out of 30 possible points and only conceded one goal in 15 goals.
The distance to pursuer Hércules is already seven points, which is why there is currently a lot to be said for promotion to La Liga 2. Accordingly, the bookmakers do not consider the next cup victory over a first division club to be ruled out.
Athletic Bilbao ended up in a sobering eleventh place in the 2019/20 season. All the greater were the expectations for the new season, especially since the club, which only signs players with Basque roots, for once did not have any painful departures.
Instead, Álex Berenguer, a very promising player, was signed. So the Leones started the new season well prepared, which by no means brought about a turnaround.
A first half of the season in the extended relegation zone finally cost Gaizka Garitano the job - even though under him the first league game in the calendar year 2021 was won 1-0 against Elche.
Nevertheless, only one day later, Marcelino took over, although he was unable to avert the league home defeat against Barcelona on his debut (2: 3). But he promptly led the Leones to overall victory in the Supercopa de Espana. In the semifinals, the Basques first defeated Real Madrid 2-1 before the great FC Barcelona were defeated 3-2 in the final after extra time.
With the first national title behind them in five years, the club, which will face Real Sociedad on April 4 for the overall victory of the Copa del Rey 2020, is well prepared for the away game on the Balearic Islands, where a clear victory is in sight the class difference is of course mandatory.
Because the Basques have not failed in the Copa del Rey for 17 years against lower-class opponents, it makes a lot of sense in our opinion to play tip 2 against Athletic Bilbao at Ibiza. With the momentum from the Supercopa in their backs, the Leones finally arrive with a broad chest.
