The core prediction direction provided by the user is "Over/Under Under 2.25", with corresponding odds of 0.96 (under) and 0.89 (over) respectively.

Athletic Bilbao: It is necessary to analyze the goal data of its last 5-6 games before the game, focusing on its offensive efficiency and defensive solidity, especially its home record, to assess its ability to generate or limit goals. Espanyol: It is also necessary to look at their recent games, especially away from home, where their away tactics tend to focus more on defensive counter-attacks and may have limited goals. The overall trend of the two teams in the near future will directly support the prediction of "small score" results.

review of the historical head-to-head record between Athletic Bilbao and Espanyol, it is necessary to count the proportion of games where the total number of goals scored by less than 2.25 goals when the two sides met. The style of historical head-to-head often reflects the tactical restraint and rhythm of the game when the two teams face each other, and is an important basis for judging whether this game will fall into a stalemate and not many goals.

are for the "Over/Under market" offered by the user: Under 2.25 goals is 0.96 and Over 2.25 goals is 0.89. The odds distribution shows that the market is slightly biased towards "small score" results (lower odds usually mean slightly higher probability or slightly more heat). The "away win" direction mentioned by users lacks complete odds data support and needs to be independently judged in combination with other fundamentals.

Based on the above analysis: 1. Fundamentals point to a small score: Bilbao has a tough home defense, Espanyol may lack away offensive ability and tactical stability, and recent form and historical confrontations may support a slower pace of the game. 2. Odds confirmation: The over/under odds structure supports the "under 2.25" direction. 3. Away win evaluation: On the basis of the expected small score, if the Spaniards want to win away, they are most likely to steal a goal and hold the victory through defensive counterattacks, but the probability of realizing this scenario requires more detailed lineup and form information to accurately assess, and the risk is higher based on the available information alone. The core logic is more inclined to support "total goals less than 2.25".

This is an analytical model deduction based on limited information. Actual bets take into account key factors such as the starting lineup before the match, injury conditions, real-time team fighting spirit (league ranking pressure), and changes in on-the-spot odds. Users are advised to incorporate this dynamic information into their final decisions.
