Wasn't the best start for coach Marcelo Bielsa who did great job with Chile in World Cup competition,and if he is looking to take Bilbao to an European spot he has to start winning soon enough.
They had disappointing results so far, drawing at home to Rayo Vallecano and later last week losing to Espanyol. Results might not reflect the performance, with Bilbao having heaps of occasions and shots on goal but without managing to push the ball successfully in the back of the net.
Thursday they played away to Slovan Bratislava in Europe, where they won 2:1 and I think that might be the spark they needed to start winning some.
Betis will be missing Ruben Castro becuz of injury, who scored in both winners of this season for his team and who scored in most of every game last season for Betis.
Statistics and form might not look at the best right now, but Betis had two late goal winners so far against Mallorca and Granada both by Ruben and with Bilbao hungry for points in the league I highly expect them to win today. Even odds for a home win are high and I think they worth to be taking. Hopefully European fatigue won't be a huge factor for this encounter and Bilbao do the job.
Selection: Home Win @ 2,10 - 6/10
Selection: Home Win and clean sheet @ 3,25 2/10
