The odds are pure madness if we forget about the team names but concentrate on performances. Instead of being several points behind Bilbao could also be in top-4 in par with Real Madrid, but there is a difference in finishing class between Benzema and the Williams brothers at Bilbao.

The good news to Bilbao however that apart from being good in creating chances - not in finishing them - they have defensively the 2nd best team in the league only behind Barcelona, but they have been unlucky in both boxes. Bilbao have conceded 17 goals, but their expected conceded goals go hand in hand with Barcelona at around 12!

In the attack it is naturally not only bad luck not to score, the quick are creative Williams brothers are good in everything else than in scoring, but there is strong learning curve going on and we can expected huge seasons especially from the younger one, Nico.

Real Madrid were humiliated in their Super cup final vs Barcelona, and also Valencia managed to draw with them rather easily.

Bilbao are traditionally a top team at home, and this season is no different as they have been worth of 20 points with a huge expected goal difference of 16-5. and also the away form of Real is questionable as they have lost 2 of their last 3 outings, at Vallecano and Villarreal and they have been heavily relying on keeper Courtois as their defense is leaking!

Should Bilbao be favourites here? Maybe that is too much to ask, but the 1X for odds more than 2.00 are generous in this one!

如果我们忘记球队的名字，而只关注他们的表现，这种可能性纯粹是疯狂的。在毕尔巴鄂，本泽马和威廉姆斯兄弟之间的排名是不同的，而不是落后皇马几分。

然而，对于毕尔巴鄂来说，好消息是除了善于创造机会(而不是射门)之外，他们的防守在联赛中排名第二，仅次于巴塞罗那，但他们在两个禁区都很不走运。毕尔巴鄂已经丢了17个球，但他们的预期失球数与巴塞罗那齐头并进，在12个左右!

在进攻中，不进球自然不仅仅是运气不好，威廉姆斯兄弟的快速创造力在其他方面都很好，除了进球，但我们有很强的学习曲线，我们可以期待巨大的赛季，尤其是年轻的尼科。

皇家马德里在超级杯决赛中被巴塞罗那羞辱，瓦伦西亚也轻松地与他们打平。

毕尔巴鄂是传统上的主场强队，本赛季也不例外，他们在16-5的巨大净胜球期望下拿到了20分。此外，皇马的客场状态也值得怀疑，因为他们在最近3场比赛中输掉了2场，分别是巴列卡诺和比利亚雷亚尔，他们严重依赖门将库尔图瓦，因为他们的防守正在泄漏!

毕尔巴鄂应该是最受欢迎的球队吗?也许这要求太高了，但在这个游戏中，超过2.00的1X赔率是慷慨的!
