Team News

Athletic Club
Atletico
  • Mikel Veska misses out for the home side, so Benat Prados is expected to continue in the midfield.
  • Yeray Alvarez and Malcom Adu are also sidelined, while Dani Garcia is set to return this month.
  • Atletico have no additional injury concerns, with Vitolo, Thomas Lemar and Pablo Barrios all absent.
  • Diego Simeone may revert to a 3-5-2 setup for Saturday's game in Bilbao with Saul Niguez taking Angel Correa's place in the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Athletic Club extended their unbeaten run to six league matches with a 1-1 draw at Granada, in a match that was delayed by a day due to the unfortunate passing of a home fan. The Bilbao giants have lost just the once at home this season, with Real Madrid leaving San Mames with all the spoils back in August.
  • Atletico have been imperious at home this season but have struggled on their travels somewhat. Indeed, they've lost back-to-back away league matches having fallen to defeat to Las Palmas and then Barcelona on their last two road outings.
  • Atletico ended a four-game winless run at San Mames in this game last season but Athletic's home form suggests the hosts will claim a result here.
