Prediction: 1-1
Athletic Bilbao
All eyes will be on Kybunpark when Borussia Dortmund and Athletic Club go head to head in a pre-season friendly. Borussia aim to make amends for a shocking 3-1 loss to Bochum, but the game against the Lions will be anything but a walk in the park for the nominal hosts. Midfielder Mario Pasalic, who scored as a substitute in the defeat to Bochum, is pushing for a start.
The Basques, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to St. Gallen, with the team beating Dynamo Kiev in their last warm-up game. A man to keep an eye on in the La Liga team will be Inaki Williams, who scored the winner against Dynamo Kiev. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Kybunpark, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw.
