Where the money is
How much money is actually on each selection, next to what the price says it should be. A gap is not a tip — it just means the crowd and the book disagree.

**Basque bragging rights get spicy as Athletic Club host Real Sociedad** — two of Spain's most form-conscious outfits collide at San Mamés in a derby with real playoff implications.
Athletic are red-hot after dismantling Getafe 4-0 but stumbled badly at Levante. Real Sociedad's 4W-1D streak is the scarier resume heading in, though — they're clicking like few other clubs in La Liga right now. This H2H tilts slightly Sociedad's way historically, but the home crowd could be the equalizer.
Key storylines:
- **Athletic's fringe attacking depth** gets tested with **I. Williams** and **P. Canales** carrying the load while regular starters deal with injuries
- **Real Sociedad's midfield balance** anchored by **L. Sučić** and **C. Soler** will try to control the tempo against a Bilbao side hungry to bounce back
- **A. Laporte** and **M. Sarr** marshalling the backlines — a defensive chess match in the making
Expected lineups:
- **Athletic Club**: U. Simón, Y. Berchiche, A. Laporte, A. Paredes, H. Rincón, B. Gerenabarrena, Y. Álvarez, Á. Berenguer, P. Canales, I. Williams, M. Sannadi
- **Real Sociedad**: Á. Remiro, S. Gómez, J. Martin, M. Sarr, J. Aramburu, L. Sučić, C. Soler, Y. Herrera, J. Gorrotxategi, M. Oyarzabal, G. Guedes
Prediction:
**1-1 draw** — both sides too organized and in-form to break through cleanly. Lean slight edge to Athletic at home, but Sociedad's recent form keeps this tight.
Nothing reached 80% confidence before kick-off, so we stayed quiet rather than guess. Most matches end up here — that is what keeps the published calls at 87.1%.
