Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Las Palmas. They came away from that fixture with 29% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Las Palmas managed 13 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches overall.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 13 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Gorka Guruzeta will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Athletic Bilbao's last 6 league games.
Alaves, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Rayo Vallecano in their last league game, Alaves will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 33%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Rayo Vallecano had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Luis García Plaza will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to score in 7 of their 14 away games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Samuel Omorodion has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Athletic Bilbao.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-2 win for Athletic Bilbao.
It's been a long time since Babazorros have managed to find the back of the net against Athletic, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters. In their past 5 meetings, Lehoiak's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Alavés will have to take their chances when they come.
Alavés has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Athletic, being unable to find a win from any of their last 6 league meetings at The Estadio San Mamés.
Athletic player Raúl García will be feeling confident about recording goals against Alavés ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
There is only really one injury concern for the Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde ahead of this clash, with Ander Herrera (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Valverde a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Despite Aleksandar Sedlar (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season Alavés manager Luis García Plaza will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
