Athletic Bilbao will look for better results after losing 0-3 to Real Sociedad in La Liga last time.

In that game, Athletic Bilbao had 49% of the ball and took 18 shots, three of which were on target. At the other end, Real Sociedad had eight shots on goal, five of which were on target. Robin Lenormand (30′), Kubo Kubo (48′) and Mikel Oyarzabal (66′) scored for Real Sociedad.

Ernesto Valverde’s Athletic Bilbao have scored 11 goals in their last six games, averaging 1.83 goals per game.

Previously, Almeria drew 3-3 with Granada in La Liga.

In that game, Almeria had 49% of the ball and had 17 shots on goal, six of which were on target. Suarez was the only player to score for Almeria (41′, 44′, 45′). Granada shot 19 times, 4 of which were on target. Brian Zaragoza (66′), Ricard Sanchez (70′) and Mirto Uzuni (86′) scored for Granada.

Almeria has scored at least three goals in 5 of their last six games. The average goal per game in that period is 4.33, with Almeria averaging 1.67. Historical results aside, we must see if this game maintains that pattern.

Almeria will challenged against Athletic Bilbao, who will probably take control if everything goes as expected. Athletic Bilbao will win comfortably 3-0 when all is said and done.

The home team has performed poorly in the league this season and sits at the bottom. They lost 2-0 to Rayo Vallecano in their last game and only had one shot on target the whole game, so there’s nothing to complain about.

Alaves are 14th in the league with six points from five games. They will try to shake off their latest results and return to winning this weekend.

Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao opened their La Liga campaign with a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid but have since bounced back. They beat Cadiz 3-0 away from home in their last game and were deservedly dominant, with three players scoring in the final 30 minutes.

The visitors sit fourth in the La Liga table with 10 points from 15 points. They will aim to continue their good form on Friday.

Alaves has lost two of its last three games and four of its previous six. However, they are unbeaten at home in the league this year and expect a positive result this weekend.

Bilbao has won three of its last four games after going winless in the previous five. The visitors are in much better form heading into the weekend’s games and should come out on top here.

Rayo Vallecano has won their last six games and won four in all competitions, but according to the league table, they have a 50% prevailing rate of 2 wins and two draws in their last six games, which further supports my point. Vallecano won their previous meeting.

It will be Vallecano’s second home game of the season, having lost 7-0 to Atletico Madrid the previous time. They started well with two wins in a row and are looking to get their first home win in front of the fans, and a newly promoted Alaves will be the perfect start with a win in their last home game.

They started well with two wins in a row and are looking to get their first home win in front of the fans, and a newly promoted Alaves will be the perfect start with a win in their last home game. So expect Rayo Vallecano to win this match.

Alaves returned to La Liga through last season’s La Liga play-offs, so their main goal this season is to consolidate their status in the top flight.

The Blue and White lost 0-1 to Cadiz in their first game of the season before a thrilling seven-goal victory over Sevilla in front of their fans.

However, Alaves could not build on their success and lost 1-0 to Getafe on Monday night, which left them in 14th place in the standings with three points.

At the same time, Valencia has successively defeated Sevilla and Las Palmas in the 2023-24 La Liga season but lost to Osasuna 1-2 at home in the last game.

It did look like points would be shared at the Mestalla, with Hugo Duro equalizing in the 80th minute after Aymar Oroz put the visitors ahead, but Nacho Vidal scored a goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Osasuna won the objective. 90 minutes.

Alaves impressed in their last home game against Sevilla, and we expect them to be a difficult team to beat at the Mendizorosa Stadium this season. Valencia still lacks firepower so we could see a low-scoring draw this weekend.

Goals from Andreas Skov Olsen and Maxim de Cuyper gave Brugge a 2-1 win in the first leg in Spain last week. Club Brugge’s Belgian Pro League match against Genk at the weekend was postponed, so they go into the second leg after a week’s rest.

Meanwhile, Osasuna beat Valencia 2-1 in La Liga on Sunday, with Ignacio Vidal Miralles scoring the winner in stoppage time.

It is the visiting team’s first visit to Europe since the 2006-07 UEFA Champions League qualifiers. They were banned from competitions due to a match-fixing scandal at the end of the 2013-14 La Liga season, which led to the conviction of multiple directors in 2020.

Osasuna were allowed to make their first European appearance in 17 years after being fined 5 percent of their conference league revenue this season.

Brugge has been in good form recently, winning six games, scoring 25, and conceding four goals. They have scored 15 goals in five games in the divisional league qualifiers.

Meanwhile, Osasuna suffered a first-leg loss in their first European game in 17 years. They have won their two away games this season 2-1. Osasuna returned to winning ways after two defeats at the weekend.

Still, Brugge has been in impressive form this month and should win comfortably.

Cadiz and Almeria face off at the new Mirandira Stadium in the third round of La Liga. The Yellow Submarines aim to recover from a 2-0 defeat at Barcelona, and the fact that they beat Alaves in their first home game certainly gives them a chance. Ahead of Almeria’s visit, fans have reason to be optimistic. Jorge Meyer, Victor Chester, Serge Guardiola, Carra, and Brian Ocampo are all injured, but the hosts have no suspended players.

On the other hand, Andalusians got off to a slow start to the season, with the team losing to Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid in their first two league games. Almeria are not considered good travelers, and we don’t believe they are capable of ruining Cadiz’s party at the new Mirandilla stadium. Leo Baptistao and Martin Svidersky are both out with injuries.

Real Sociedad enters the game after a 1-1 draw with Girona FC in La Liga.

In that game, Real Sociedad had 48% of the ball and took 15 shots, 2 of which were on target. Real Sociedad scored by Takefusa Kubo (5′). Girona had six shots, 1 of which was on target. Artem Dovbyk (72′) is the scorer for FC Girona.

Real Sociedad has been on a consistent scoring streak, scoring in their last six games.

They have scored nine goals & conceded seven in total during this period.

Their previous results for Real Sociedad: Celta Vigo remains unbeaten in the last six league games. The team is undefeated in the previous ten league games at home. They’ve been so tough here.

Since the last La Liga loss to Osasuna, Celta and their away fans hope they can achieve better results in this game.

Celta Vigo had 53% of the ball in that game, shot 11 times, and had one on target. On the other hand, Osasuna had 11 shots, 5 of which were on target. Ruben Garcia (24′) and Moi Gomez (74′) scored for Osasuna.

Judging from the team’s status, Celta Vigo has scored in 6 of the last six games, and the opponent has scored nine goals in total. Defensively, Celta Vigo could be more solid. Previous results aside, we’ll have to wait & see if this trend continues in the upcoming games.

In this game, the table guide shows Celta Vigo: In the last three League away games against Real Sociedad, the team has not won a single game. They have yet to win any of their previous six League away games.

Celta Vigo has what it takes to beat Real Sociedad, but more than that might need to avoid defeat.

Expect Real Sociedad to win 2-1. It will be interesting to see how this goes.

On Wednesday, Manchester City and Sevilla will play the UEFA Super Cup final at the Karleskakis Stadium.

The protagonists of this clash are the incumbent giants of Europe’s two top club competitions. Last season, Manchester City won the Champions League, and Sevilla won the Europa League.

Both teams will look to continue winning on the big stage, setting the tone for an exciting game.

Guardiola has already won the trophy with Barcelona and Bayern Munich. The prospect of working with a third club will certainly excite him, and it presents a fantastic opportunity.

Manchester City’s only minor reservation could be against Newcastle United on Saturday. However, they likely won’t field their most potent lineup on Wednesday night.

Given Manchester City’s quality, Sevilla may need help to match, despite their laudable cup record.

Although the English champions have occasionally left gaps in the game (something stronger sides than Burnley could take advantage of), it’s conceivable that Sevilla could score in a fascinating game.
