Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\nEvens @ Bet365<\/a>
(50.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nFive of the last six meetings have seen both teams score, and neither side boasts a dominant defence: Athletic have conceded 40, Betis 35 this season. Both are more effective going forward than at the back.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n1\/1 @ Bet365<\/a>
(50.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth sides average more than a goal per game, with Betis overperforming their xG and Athletic creating plenty of big chances. With attacking talent on display and recent H2Hs producing goals, the price for three or more goals looks fair.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
