Athletic Bilbao - Schalke 04

Repeat for the 8 phase of EL. The first match in Germany ended with Bilbao triumphing with 2-4 and at the same time making a big step towards qualifying.

Despite its comfortable win, Bilbao will not close today and try to keep its strong lead. He never does it because he is not in the philosophy of this group and is, in fact, not in Bielsa's philosophy either. In San Mames he is powerful and creates many phases in all of his games. Something similar I am waiting for today, since beyond Iturraspe (average 28 / 1) there is no other significant absence.

Schalke, for her part, if she wants to have some hope, must certainly attack today. Without a lot of words, it needs the minimum 3 goal today and this automatically shows how it will fight. Beyond that, it is by nature more aggressive than a defensive team. With Raul - Huntelaar the aggressive duo team, the goal is pretty sure. Defense on the other is not its own trumpet and especially today has the important absences of Fuchs and Howedes on the defensive track.

I expect a lot of goals here. The two teams and the first scoring totally justify them and I think the over 3 is a fairly good bet.
