Bookies Giving Athletic Plenty of Respect

The favourites are 62% likely to win according to the latest betting odds, with Athletic Club being priced at -161 to come away with a victory in this La Liga encounter. The market suggests that Deportivo Alavés are least likely to win at +430.

Athletic are -128 if you take them on the Asian Handicap at -0.75. Stakes are split between -0.5 and -1 which means you need a 2+ goal win for a full payout. A one-goal victory means a return with half your stake and the other half refunded.
