Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Almeria. During that encounter they had 61% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
8 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 2 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. They're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets, and playing at home this season, they have scored in 11 of their 12 games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 11 games.
Gorka Guruzeta will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at The Estadio San Mamés, having notched up 5 goals for Athletic Bilbao in their last 6 league matches at home.
Girona, Recent FormGirona boss Míchel Sánchez Muñoz will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 4-0 away mauling from Real Madrid. They came away from that fixture with a 47% share of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 0 on target, in comparison to Real Madrid, who managed 16 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that Sánchez Muñoz will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included. They've had a reasonably strong start to the season away from home being unbeaten in 11 of their 12 league games on the road.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Girona, Artem Dovbyk will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Athletic will be confident of finding the net in this one against Blanquivermells, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 5 encounters between the two sides.
In their last 3 league meetings, Athletic have failed to record a victory against Girona.
Cristhian Stuani will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Girona against Athletic in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
There is only really one injury concern for the Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde ahead of this clash, with Nico Williams (Muscle) missing out, which gives Valverde a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only David López (Muscle) and Toni Villa (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Míchel Sánchez Muñoz will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
