Athletic is playing really well in the current Primera Division. After 14 rounds, the Reds and Whites earned 23 points, occupying fifth place in the standings, two points behind the Champions League zone. They've also won five straight games in the championship.

The Bilbao team is also doing well in the Europa League. In the opening round, they drew 1:1 with Roma, then beat AZ Alkmaar 2:0, Slavia 1:0, and Ludogorets 2:1. The hosts currently sit in sixth place with ten points.

Elfsborg

Elfsborg became Sweden's vice-champion in 2023, but they couldn't build on that success. They only came seventh in the national championship, 20 points behind the champions.

But in the Europa League, the Swedes started from the first qualification round and made it through to the group stage. On top of that, in the first four rounds, they beat Roma 1:0, drew with Braga 1:1, and lost to AZ and Galatasaray 2:3 and 3:4, which puts them in 24th place.

Expert Betting Tips

Elfsborg was seen as one of the main outsiders in the current Europa League draw, but they've shown they can hold their own in the group stage. That's why we think it's a good idea to bet on Elfsborg winning now.

Athletic is a very pragmatic team, used to spending exactly the right amount of energy to get the right results. In their last six matches, there have only been nine goal kicks (1.50 on average), and they've all ended with the total under. Based on this, the best bet seems to be the total under 3.5 goals.
