🗞️ Team News: Athletic Bilbao
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Oihan Sancet (ankle sprain) is out of contention.
🔮 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Athletic Bilbao look set to be able to score a couple when they come up against Viktoria Plzeň, who might well find it a difficult task scoring a goal of their own.
Accordingly, we see a decent 2-0 winning score for Athletic Bilbao come full-time.
