There will be fireworks when Athletic Club and Real Sociedad face each other at Estadio San Mames in the Basque derby.
The Lions quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid, with the team beating Huesca, while sharing the spoils with Villarreal in the previous two league fixtures. Athletic Club aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Peru Nolaskoain should be the only absentee in the home team ahead of the visit of Real Sociedad.
It’s not been often in recent games where Athletic Bilbao haven’t conceded. The reality is that Los Leones have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 9 goals in the process. Athletic Bilbao boss Gaizka Garitano will be thankful to have no fitness worries to speak of before this game with a fully injury-free squad available to choose from.
La Real, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid. The good news for the visitors is that Mikel Oyarzabal has overcome his injury, and we predict that he is going to pose a big threat to the opposition defenders. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in the local derby, and we are tempted to put our money on a draw. It is worth noting that Real Sociedad have had real problems scoring goals over their previous six games, recording the disappointing return of only 4.
In those fixtures, Txuri-urdin have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal 8. That aside, we must now wait to see whether such a trend will persist in this next game. Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Luca Sangalli, David Silva, Mikel Oyarzabal, Asier Illarramendi, and Alex Solaare not able to play.

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.
