Prediction: 1-1
Athletic Bilbao
There will be fireworks when Real Sociedad and Athletic Club face each other at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta on Matchday 22. Real Sociedad have been producing fine performances in La Liga in 2019, with the team climbing the standings week by week. La Real did well to come from behind and beat Espanyol in previous home game in the national championship, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the Basque derby. Athletic Club have been in a fine form of late, meaning that a close encounter is on the cards in San Sebastian. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. A man to watch in the home team will be former Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj, whilst Real Sociedad defenders should have Inaki Williams at bay.
