Athletic Bilbao have made an excellent start to the new La Liga season, and they will be looking to continue their excellent record by landing a third straight win on Wednesday. Getafe will be the visitors, as they bid to bounce back from a recent defeat.
La Liga Preview
It has been a fine start to the new La Liga season for Bilbao, as they currently sit in the top four places in the league standings. They have won four of their opening six matches at the start of the season, and they have suffered just one defeat. However, their only loss of the campaign was suffered on the opening day, and they have responded by winning four of their last five.
Bilbao picked up a second straight win in their most recent league fixture, as they secured a 2-0 success on the road against Alaves on Friday. The deadlock was broke after 18 minutes by Inaki Williams, before the second effort was added with just 14 minutes remaining by Olhan Sanchet.
Despite sitting 13th in the standings, it has been a positive start to the new season for Getafe. They have won twice across their opening six matches this term, but they will need to be more challenging to beat after losing three times over the opening month of the campaign.

That was evident once again on Sunday, as they scored three times away from home against Real Sociedad before dropping to a 4-3 loss on the road. But, their ability in front of goal could make them a dangerous threat to Bilbao this week.
