Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:
👉 Our prediction is: Draw
This matchup between Fortaleza and Athletic Club has all the makings of a hard-fought stalemate, so our top tip for the match is to bet on the draw on the 1X2 market.
Neither side is particularly appealing to bet on to win given their uneven form of late. And we also see great value in the 3.51 odds for a draw, which is hard to pass up.
👉 Prediction: Athletic Club win or Draw
Our betting tip for this match is to back Athletic Club to win or draw in the Double Chance market.
Playing away from home is always a challenge, but based on recent form and season statistics, Athletic Club has shown they have what it takes to secure a positive result. Keep in mind that they only need to avoid defeat for the bet to win.
