Athletic Bilbao Vs Barcelona Final Betting Analysis
Teams like Barcelona are always over bet. Oddsmakers assign ridiculous handicaps and underlay moneyline odds. We can’t say for sure that will happen, which is why instead of recommending a play on the moneyline, handicap, or draw, we’ll tell you what we think happens in Sunday’s match.
Barcelona should get Messi back. He had to skip the match against Sociedad. Even if Messi returns, Athletic Bilbao will put up a fight. In the last head-to-head, Bilbao lost by a single goal. The score implies that the likely underdog’s defense broke down.
Therefore, if Athletic Bilbao concentrates more on defense, they’ll have a shot to win via penalty kicks. That’s our prediction, that Bilbao pulls out a victory with penalty kicks. It doesn’t mean you should put money on the draw.
Wait for odds to come out. If we’re wrong and Barcelona offers fair odds, make sure Messi is okay to play, and then consider backing Barca. If Bilbao offers overlay odds, consider backing Bilbao to win in regulation. If the draw is the overlay, go with the draw.
No matter what you do, handicap based on Messi’s health and listed odds. We think the game ends in a draw and then Bilbao wins on penalty kicks. But don’t take our word for it.
