Tip and bets
Both clubs are in a poor form, but their defense is looking great, despite some problems with the offense. Hosts are a clear favourite, but they need to score to achieve a positive result. Opponents need to improve their scoring. We are expecting goals in the first match of the round.
Our prediction - both teams to score
Basques are not looking confident in recent matches, their results at home are not so impressive. We think that visitors are more motivated than the hosts, so it might affect the result.
Our second bet is on a draw
