Athletic Bilbao Form


Athletic Bilbao have slipped down the La Liga table after recording one win in their last six matches. They drew 2-2 at Valencia before a 3-1 defeat at Real Madrid when Raúl García was sent off in the 13th minute.

Gaizka Garitano’s side bounced back with a 2-0 home win against Huesca. It was a tight match until the visitors saw a man sent off in the 85th minute, Kenan Kodro converting the penalty and Unai Núñez wrapping it up in added time.

Athletic Bilbao’s last match was a 1-1 draw at Villarreal. Iñaki Williams opened the scoring but they couldn’t hold on after managing 34% possession.

Expect attacking midfielder Raúl García to return to the starting side after coming off the bench in Villarreal.

Real Sociedad Form


Real Sociedad’s great start to the season is a distant memory after failing to win in their last 9 matches in all competitions. They were top of La Liga but have now lost their last three matches.

Imanol Alguacil’s side lost 2-1 at Barcelona despite Willian José opening the scoring. The Basque club then lost 2-1 at Levante with Alexander Isak putting them in front.

Real Sociedad’s last match was 2-0 home defeat to Atletico Madrid. They could only manage one shot on target in a match with very few chances.

Real Sociedad Team News


Real Sociedad attacking midfielder Adnan Januzaj is injured. Defensive midfielder Asier Illarramendi and right back Joseba Zaldua are doubtful.

Centre-back Aritz Elustondo and winger Mikel Oyarzabal are fully fit and should return to the starting side.

Willian José competes with Alexander Isak for a spot up front.

Head to Head


Athletic Bilbao have a 60-52 advantage against Real Sociedad with 38 draws in 150 matches. 

Athletic Bilbao won 2-0 at home last season before a 2-1 defeat in San Sebastian.
