Athletic Bilbao
LWWWDD
Athletic Bilbao prepare for this fixture after a 1-1 La Liga stalemate against Sevilla.
In that game, Athletic Bilbao managed 40% possession and 13 shots on goal with 5 on target. For Athletic Bilbao, the goalscorers were Mikel Jauregizar (36') and Álex Padilla (93' Own goal). On the other side, Sevilla had 13 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.
It’s not been often in recent games that Athletic Bilbao have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Athletic Bilbao have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 6 goals in the process. We will find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.
AZ
DWWWWL
Since a loss in their previous game against FC Utrecht in Eredivisie action, AZ will be aiming to make amends here.
In that game, AZ had 68% possession and 22 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. The only player to score for AZ was Troy Parrott (24'). FC Utrecht had 8 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Yoann Cathline (32') and Paxten Aaronson (55') scored for FC Utrecht.
An offensively clinical AZ have enjoyed getting themselves an abundance of goals over their previous 6 games (18 to be precise). That’s given them an enviable average of 3 goals scored per match during this period of time.
📰 Team News: Athletic Bilbao
Ander Herrera (Adductor injury), Oihan Sancet (Hamstring injury), Beñat Prados (Muscle injury) and Unai Simón (Wrist injury) will not be able to play for Athletic Bilbao gaffer Ernesto Valverde.
In our view, Los Leones will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 system this time and select Julen Agirrezabala, Óscar de Marcos, Aitor Paredes, Unai Núñez, Iñigo Lekue, Mikel Vesga, Mikel Jauregizar, A. Berenguer Remiro, Unai Gómez, Nico Williams and Iñaki Williams.
📋 Team News: AZ
AZ boss Maarten Martens has multiple availability issues to deal with. Lewis Schouten (unknown injury), Ibrahim Sadiq (unknown injury) and Sem Westerveld (Meniscus injury) will miss out on this game.
We believe AZ will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of R. J. Owusu-Oduro, Seiya Maikuma, Bruno Martins Indi, Alexandre Penetra, David Møller Wolfe, Jordy Clasie, Peer Koopmeiners, Jayden Addai, Sven Mijnans, Ruben van Bommel and Troy Parrott.
✨ Prediction
Athletic Bilbao are likely to convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
Conversely, AZ will be up against it to get shooting opportunities but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Athletic Bilbao by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
Our expert partners are tipping under 3.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
