Athletic Club - Atlético

Match date: 05/09-16:15

Athletic Club

The Athletic Club host Atlético de Madrid on matchday 4 of the league at San Mamés. After opening their points tally with a win against Celta de Vigo, in which they showed a good level of play, the Basque side face one of the best teams in LaLiga, in what will be the first major test for the manager, Edin Terzić.

For the game, the red-and-white coach will not be able to call on Daniel Vivian, still recovering from his discomfort. Peio Canales is also not in the squad Peio Canales, suffering from a slight muscle injury that will keep him out of action for around three weeks, so his return will likely come after the international break.

Doubts in the starting XI of the German coach mainly revolve around the attack. The good performances of Berenguer, Robert Navarro and Iñaki Williams as a centre-forward against Celta make getting the lineup spot on a real headache. Nico Williams could be in the starting lineup, as could Guruzeta, but that would mean that two of the three players mentioned above —the protagonists in Vigo— would end up on the bench at San Mamés.

A great atmosphere is expected in the stands for a match of the highest level and intensity for both sides. The Basques will try to secure a victory that gives a boost to the red-and-white faithful and provides arguments for the new system introduced by Edin Terzić.

Atlético de Madrid

Once the transfer window has closed, this is what there is, for better or for worse, the squad is now set, and there are few surprises in the Madrid red-and-white side. We will have to see how they present themselves after the win in Seville against a rival who comes into the match having won away, and who will want to bring joy to their fans.

Few changes compared to Sevilla's starting XI, they will keep playing with a false nine, where they will rotate positions, Baena, Giuliano, Kang In and Lookman. In the back part of the midfield, it looks like Hjulmand will take a spot alongside the tireless Barrios.

And in the defensive area, with what seems like the disappearance of Le Normand in the starting XIs, the only doubt is whether he will repeat Hancko or whether he will get the chance to make his debut, Cuti Romero.
