Athletic Bilbao will be traveling to Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero on Monday night for the first match of La Liga 2021/22. The match kicks off at 21:00 pm (UK). Read our prediction and betting tips provided for the match Elche vs. Athletic Bilbao.
Elche, who narrowly avoided relegation from La Liga last season, will play Athletic Bilbao in the opening round of the new season on Monday. Elche finished 17th with 36 points in the previous season and is entering the second season for the second time in a row without being demoted since 2015. Will they be able to maintain their position this season? Athletic Bilbao is one of the teams to decide their stay.
During the previous season's meeting between the two teams, Athletic Bilbao won the first leg 1-0 at home and Elche won the second leg 2-0 at home as well. As a result, there can't be any evident rivalry between these two teams. On the other hand, Elche seems to prove its worth at home, and in some cases, it even manages to hold big teams. For example, in the first leg of the Spanish Primera Division against Real Madrid last season, the match ended 1-1. So, when playing at home, Elche will always do their best to defend, and even if they lose, they will make sure they don't concede many goals.
Elche played six club friendlies, losing two, drawing two, and winning two, the most memorable of which was a 6-0 victory against Atromitos. That was excellent preparation, and Athletic Bilbao had an outstanding performance. Athletic Bilbao played six games, losing two, winning three, and drawing one with Liverpool at Anfield. Some notable victories include 2-0 victories against Dortmund and 3-1 wins over Southampton. Athletic Bilbao seems to be sturdy and stronger after their performance in the warm-up session, and they appear to be in a position to battle Elche successfully.
Athletic Bilbao defeated Elche on penalties in the Copa del Rey, and both teams have won two of their past three head-to-head encounters. As a result, this is a very tight battle between these two squads. Both sides added a range of players from notable clubs during the summer transfer window, and these additions might have an impact on the outcome of the upcoming encounter. The managers, Francisco Escriba and Marcelino Garcia Toral have a lot of preparation to do for this encounter on Monday.
Elche (4-4-2): Kiko,Palacios, Verdu, Bigas, Mojica, Morente, Marcone, Guti, Fidel, Lucas Boye and Pere Milla.
Suspended: None
Injured: Alamo, Carrillo, and Luismi
Athletic Bilbao (4-4-2): Agirrezabala, Marcos, Vivian, Martinez, Balenziaga, Berenguer, Zarraga, Garcia, Muniain, Inaki Williams and Oihan Sancet.
Suspended: Garcia R
Injured: Berchiche, Capa, and Kodro.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
