Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 18 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 8 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 11, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
Iñaki Williams will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Athletic Bilbao.
Almeria, Recent FormA 3-3 draw and a point gained against Granada in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Almeria last time out. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Granada who had 19 attempts and 4 on target.
They have bagged 10 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 16 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 23 most recent trips.
A win for Almeria is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 11 games.
Luis Suárez will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Almeria.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-2 win for Athletic Bilbao.
Athletic have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against Rojiblancos. In their past 5 meetings, Lehoiak's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Almeria will have to take their chances when they come. We have seen plenty of goals from Lehoiak when they play at home against Almeria. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 12 goals, which is an average of 4 goals per game.
In the league, Athletic has an strong track record when they play host to Almeria, notchng up a win in their last 5 home games.
With only Peru Nolaskoain (Thigh) and Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ernesto Valverde will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Marc Pubill (Physical discomfort) and Lucas Robertone (Physical discomfort) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Vicente Moreno will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
