Athletic Bilbao will look to build on a 2-0 win over Osasuna when they take on Real Betis in the La Liga round 3. The Lions did well to win the local derby, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and they now face their favourite rivals. You should bear in mind that the Lions emerged triumphant in nine of the previous ten meetings between the two sides at Stadio San Mames. Oihah Sancet is banned for the match, while all Peru Nolaskoain, Dani Garcia, Yeray Alvarez, and Yuri Berchiche are out of contention with injuries.
Los Beticos, on the other hand, made a promising start to the season, with the team beating Villarreal on the road, while sharing the spoils with Atletico Madrid at home. Nonetheless, home win should be considered this time out as Athletic Bilbao do not suit Real Betis, especially when the two sides meet in the Basque Country. The likes of Luiz Henrique, Claudio Bravo, William Carvalho, and Nabil Fekir are injured for the visiting side.
