Prediction

  • Whilst Sociedad have boasted back to back victories since their Champions League debut two weeks ago, Athletic Club are still unbeaten since their season opener against Real Madrid - this will set the scene for a ferocious Basque derby on Saturday evening.
  • Unfortunately for Athletic Club, a mixture of injury and suspension has put them as under dogs in this match: Nico Williams, Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta and Oihan Sancet are all missing.
  • Sociedad made six first team changes mid week, meaning Imanol Alguacil has been targeting this fixture for a while. What's more, combined with the electric atmosphere of the Reale arena, Sociedad are unbeaten in six home games. The hosts will be eager to ask the question again as to whether red and white is still the dominant colour in the Basque country on Saturday night.
