Team News

Athletic Club
Mallorca
  • Although Athletic Bilbao only lost one game in pre-season, Marcelino will be worried about who he selects to be in goal for their opening fixture after both Unai Simon and Julen Agirrezabala suffered injuries in pre-season.
  • There are no other injuries to outfield players or suspensions.
  • Javier Aguirre will have the majority of his squad available to choose from this weekend with only Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta missing out through injury. They have no suspensions carried over from last season.

Prediction

  • Athletic Bilbao missed out on a Europa Conference League spot by four points last season after losing two of their last three games. Inaki Williams had his best goal-scoring output in three seasons and will look to continue that trend with a good start to the season.
  • Mallorca narrowly avoided relegation last season after seven points in their last three games meant they survived by just one point. They have Muriqi, Battaglia, and Maffeo on permanent deals after successful loan deals and signed goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic.
  • Both sides won their respective home fixture against each other, Mallorca with the more recent victory with a 3-2 win back in March.
