Game Preview
Over the course of roughly 180 minutes of play between Athletic and Betis last season, only one goal was scored in two close games. William Jose scored the game-winning goal for Betis after only six minutes of play in Athletic. After losing Dani Vivian late in the game, the losing team had no hope of salvaging a late draw. Remote viewers are anticipating the same number of goals and level of drama from the rematch. Will their wish come true?
Athletic and its fans have high expectations for the upcoming season. The team is shooting for a spot in Europe’s top division. The host team has had a rough first two weeks, winning only three of the first six points available. They started off with a loss, which didn’t sit well with their loyal fanbase, but they finally got on the board after two tries.
Even at this early stage, Athletic has reached a critical juncture. If they win, they’ll be in the running for the top spots; if they lose, they’ll fall to the bottom. Athletic’s last game was a 2-0 road victory over Osasuna, and they looked good doing it. Neither they nor anybody else anticipated them to win so handily before the game even started.
But they did it in grand fashion. Williams scored the game’s first goal inside 11 minutes, and Guruzeta added a second goal less than 10 minutes later. Both teams finished with 10 men after the physical match. It was an impressive showing that gave the team some much-needed self-assurance.
On Sunday night, Real Betis will be the opposition. They are now 2-0. They have scored two goals and given up one to earn four points out of a possible six. Betis are another team still finding its footing, but they have the talent to compete for the top spots. Gaining three points and winning consecutive games would make even their harshest critics take the team seriously. Betis are geared up and ready to perform.
