Athletic Bilbao Team News

Before this round, Bilbao was in sixth place in the table, with 14 points, seven points behind the leaders Real Madrid, with a total goal difference of 13:9.

After the first round and a defeat against Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao went on a six-game unbeaten streak. They defeated Osasuna, Betis, Cadiz, and Alaves, with two draws against Mallorca and Getafe. However, their good run ended in the previous round as they suffered a convincing 3:0 defeat to Real Sociedad.

The match against the last-placed team in the league, Almeria, presents an ideal opportunity for Athletic Bilbao to get back to winning ways. Considering that even stronger teams have dropped points at the “San Mames” stadium, it’s clear why the home team believes in a victory in this fixture.

Almeria Team News

Almeria managed to keep their place in the first league the previous season, largely thanks to their luck in the last round. They needed a win to ensure La Liga status, but they only managed a draw against Espanyol. Fortunately for them, Valladolid failed to beat Getafe at home (0:0), which ensured Almeria’s survival. However, judging by their results at the start of this season, it is clear that the visitors will face an uphill battle to avoid relegation this season as well.

After eight matches, they have only won three points (three draws and five losses) and are in last place in the table, with four points less than Alaves, who are in the safe zone. Almeria lost the previous two away matches (Villareal 2:1 and Sevilla 5:1), and there is no doubt that they will have a challenging task against Bilbao to remain undefeated.
