Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A tight, highly tactical defensive battle could be in store as R.Sociedad and A.Bilbao go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the players in terms of who could claim victory. The statistics do not supply any conclusive evidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the match. It's a prediction which is available at best priced odds of 1.53 with the bookmakers, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day for this tie.

Goal Statistics

Athletic Bilbao's defensive record is to be admired, E. Valverde Tejedor's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive La Liga outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Real Sociedad makes sense in this context.
