JefeBet Prediction
For this great match between Athletic Bilbao vs Cadiz, we believe that the win will be local. Athletic comes into the match in a very complex moment and carries the tension of winning in front of its people. The experience of several of their players, coupled with an offensive approach that differs from what has been seen in recent games, could tip the scales in favor of the local team.
Cadiz won on the last matchday, but it is not yet certain that they will be able to take all three points on the road.
Prediction: Athletic Bilbao wins 2-1.
