Athletic Bilbao will aim to secure their place in the Europa League knockout phase, but their form lately has been inconsistent. The Basques suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Besiktas in their last match in the tournament, casting doubt on their defensive stability. However, at home they are flawless in the competition, winning all three of their matches without conceding a goal.
Viktoria Plzen in good formThe guests from the Czech Republic are on a strong streak, with four wins in their last six matches in all competitions. They have already shown that they can be competitive in the Europa League, as they have not lost in their away games so far - one win and two draws. Additionally, Viktoria Plzen has demonstrated good efficiency in attack, scoring 16 goals in their last six matches.
Handicap bet: guest +1.5Athletic Bilbao is the favorite, but Viktoria Plzen is a tough opponent who rarely loses by a large margin. The guests will aim to be organized in defense and take advantage of their moments in attack. I expect a balanced match, in which Viktoria Plzen avoids a heavy defeat.
