Real Sociedad - Athletic Bilbao Predictions
Attractive Basque derby at Anoeta, with Real Sociedad and Athletic fully engaged in the fight for European positions after beating Betis at Villamarín this week (2-3) and Malaga at San Mamés (1-0) respectively. The Donostiarra team, fifth, is a point from the fourth place that Athletic boasts, has added four wins and a draw in their last six games and maintains a very positive line of play. The whole Bilbao is seventh and is seven points from the Realists and four from the sixth place of Villarreal, but in recent weeks is going through a game bache, especially at home, because it does not lift head away from the Cathedral. Seven defeats and two draws in his last nine starts and five consecutive unmarked visits confirms this.Real Sociedad - Athletic Bilbao head to head
