Athletic Bilbao underwent changes, the key one being the coaching change. With Edin Terzić in charge, the team did not start well and lost their first two matches. Looking back, they first fell at home 1:3 to Sevilla, but played nearly the entire match with one player less. The other loss was an away visit to Barcelona and was in line with expectations. However, in the last round, Athletic managed to win against Celta away with a score of 2:0. It remains to be seen whether this will be a turning point and if the team will finally start to rise again.
Not a bad start to the season overall for Atletico Madrid, which has gathered seven points from three matches. They only did not win against Villarreal at home, but then conceded two goals from penalties for a final score of 2:2, playing with one player less at the end. In the last round, the team defeated Sevilla away with a score of 3:1. National player Alex Baena is currently standing out with his good performances, scoring three times already. The saga with Julian Alvarez has come to an end for now, and despite the negative emotions surrounding him, he remains in the team. Diego Simeone decided to add another option in attack and at the last moment signed Canadian national Jonathan David from Juventus.
Prediction: both teams to scoreDespite the absence of Alvarez, Atletico Madrid shows that they can still score goals. Athletic Bilbao hinted at their potential in the match against Celta. I believe that both teams are capable of scoring a goal. In general, Atletico finds it difficult to play at this stadium and has only won three of their last 11 visits here.
