Ath Bilbao vs Alaves Prediction & Betting Tips (16 March)

After a not very reassuring draw conceded against FC Barcelona at San Mames 0-0, Bilbao, 5th in La Liga, found the net and victory last weekend, on the lawn of promoted Las Palmas 0- 2. A meeting well run and dominated by the Basques who at the same time are relaunching themselves in the race for the Champions League since Atlético made a mistake on the pitch of the 18th, Cadiz. With two points behind the Colchoneros, the Williams brothers and their teammates clearly have a game to play since tomorrow, the Madrilenians will welcome FC Barcelona to the Wanda. Remember that Ernesto Valverde's men obtained their ticket to participate in the final of the Copa del Rey at the beginning of April against Mallorca where they will be favorites to win this title. Opposite, we find another Basque team, Deportivo Alaves, promoted last year via the La Liga accession playoffs.

With a ten-point advantage over the first-relegated Cadiz at the start of this day, it should also maintain itself fairly quickly. Not very successful in recent times, Alaves still ended a series of five championship days without a victory last weekend by picking up 3 points against Rayo Vallecano at home 1-0. Before that, the Babazorros shared the points with Villarreal 1-1, Betis 0-0 and Mallorca 1-1 and were dominated by Osasuna 1-0.

At Bilbao, the midfielder who played for PSG, Ander Herrera, will be out of this game (injured). Note that the starting central defender Aitor Paredes will be suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards while Berchiche (ex-PSG) is announced absent despite his good performance against Palmas last weekend. The Williams brothers, Nico (3 goals, 7 assists in La Liga) and Inaki (9 goals, 3 assists) will probably be present, as will Berenguer (6 pawns) and the scorer Guruzeta (11 goals, 3 assists in the league). Opposite, only Sedlar (victim of a ruptured cruciate ligament) will be out for this trip to San Mames (return scheduled for May).

On the other hand, the young striker, Samu Omorodion (8 goals) will undoubtedly be present and he should even start. His first pursuer in the scorers' ranking is the most experienced Luis Rioja who has scored 4 goals this year.
