Athletic Bilbao, following a 2-0 La Liga win over Atlético Madrid, is hoping for more success in their upcoming match. They managed 38% possession and 16 attempts on goal, with goals scored by Gorka Guruzeta and Nico Williams. They have been able to score in 100% of their last six games, hitting an aggregate of 15 and conceding a total of 5. Their past form shows they have not been defeated in their previous 8 home league matches, and are currently winless against UD Las Palmas in their previous two league matches.
UD Las Palmas lost 1-1 in their La Liga match with Cádiz, with 65% possession and 7 attempts on goal. Pejiño scored for UD Las Palmas, while Cádiz scored with 13 attempts and 5 on target. Their defensive players have shown effective performances, resulting in a ‘goals against’ tally of 4 in their last 6 clashes, and 8 goals themselves. However, it remains to be seen if this pattern will be replicated in the next game. UD Las Palmas hasn’t won against Athletic Bilbao in their previous four league matches away from home, and they are looking to end this run.
Los Leones will face Athletic Bilbao in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Unai Simón, Iñigo Lekue, Daniel Vivian, Aitor Paredes, Yuri Berchiche, Ander Herrera, Beñat Prados, Iñaki Williams, Oihan Sancet, Nico Williams, and Gorka Guruzeta as their starting lineup. Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta, Iker Muniain, Dani García, Óscar de Marcos, and Yeray Álvarez are unavailable for the match.
