Over their past 6 games, the sum of 27 goals have been recorded for both teams combined (at an average of 4.5 goals per game) with 13 of those coming from Manchester United.

📋 Team News: Manchester United
Matthijs de Ligt (Knee injury), Ayden Heaven (Foot injury), Diogo Dalot (Calf injury), Joshua Zirkzee (Thigh problems) and Lisandro Martínez (Cruciate ligament injury) will not be taking part for Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim.
We think that The Red Devils could kick off with a 4-4-2 formation in the match, utilising Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Amad Diallo, Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, Patrick Dorgu, Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hoejlund.
📋 Team News: Athletic Bilbao
We reckon that Los Leones will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Julen Agirrezabala, Oscar de Marcos, Aitor Paredes, Yeray Alvarez, Yuri Berchiche, I. Ruiz de, Mikel Jauregizar, Alvaro Djalo, Unai Gomez, Alex Berenguer and Maroan Sannadi.
🔮 Prediction
Athletic Bilbao are likely to find the back of the net against this Manchester United side, however it possibly won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.
We’re tipping a 2-1 advantage for Manchester United at the end of the match. Let’s see what eventuates.
