Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5

The final outcome of this Basque derby is incredibly hard to predict, but we believe both rivals will approach the clash with more caution than courage, which could result in a tactical battle with limited chances for scoring.

The team led by Ernesto Valverde stretched their unbeaten run to six games across all competitions when they grabbed a last-gasp equalizer away at Real Valladolid last time out, with the result also making their third LaLiga draw on the bounce.

In recent times, the Lions have emerged as specialists in drawing matches, with no winner declared in four of their previous six top-tier games, three of those producing 1-1 results, and a repeat of that pattern might take place at San Mames on Sunday.

Real Sociedad enter their first Basque derby of the season riding high on confidence, having notched up two "mountainous" league victories, first by cruising past Sevilla with a 2-0 triumph in Andalusia and then toppling LaLiga leaders Barcelona 1-0 on home soil.

Txuri-Urdin’s backline has emerged as their strongest asset this season, particularly in away fixtures, having conceded just once in their opening six top-flight matches, while amassing five outstanding clean sheets in the process.

A rock-solid defense combined with a lack of firepower up front has made Real Sociedad's away games extremely dull and uninspiring to watch, as evidenced by the fact that five of their six La Liga trips have produced no more than a single goal. Considering Bilbao's recent matches have been unattractive, with four of their last five matches staying under the 2.5-goal mark, it's clear that we're in for a tightly contested Basque derby where a single goal could be the difference-maker.

Wing-back Alex Berenguer, forced off due to an abdominal injury during the 1-1 draw with Real Valladolid on November 10, has used the two-week international break to recover from the issue.

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad team news

Unlike their city rivals, Real Sociedad have a longer list of players sidelined, with Hamari Traore and Arsen Zakharyan confirmed out for Sunday’s match, while Martin Zubimendi and Umar Sadiq are doubts after being withdrawn from the Copa del Rey squad due to discomfort.

Orri Oskarsson, who represented Iceland during November, will need to undergo late fitness tests ahead of the Basque derby after suffering a muscle injury against Wales, which forced him off in the 25th minute.
