ℹ️ Team News: Athletic Club
In an otherwise full-strength group, there is just a single fitness issue for the Athletic Club boss Roger Rodrigues da Silva to be concerned about. Ezequiel (Right hip flexor problems) misses out for this game.
🔮 Prediction
We’re envisaging that Athletic Club will have to perform well to score goals against this Criciuma side who we think should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We’re therefore anticipating a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 winning margin for Criciuma at the conclusion of the game.
Should be a close one.
