Athletic Club’s Europa League journey ended on Thursday, with a 4-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Red Devils secured a 3-0 lead at San Mamés, impacted by Dani Vivian’s red card in the first half.
In addition, Athletic Club travelled to Manchester without the Williams brothers and Sancet, which is why a few fans thought success was impossible. Jaureguizar scored in the first half, but United came back in the second half as they scored four.
Athletic Club cannot afford another slip-up in La Liga. They currently sit 4th with 61 points, three ahead of Villarreal and four ahead of Real Betis. Ernesto Valverde’s team have struggled with squad depth, unable to make an impact against Real Sociedad in the Basque Derby (0-0) last week.
Iñaki Williams, Nico Williams, and Oihan Sancet remain sidelined due to injuries. Andoni Gorosabel and Álex Berenguer are suspended for Sunday.
Athletic Club Predicted line-up vs Deportivo Alavés (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Berchiche, Lekue, Paredes, de Marcos; Jaureguizar, Prados; Gómez, Vesga, Djalo; Guruzeta.
While Athletic Club are fighting for the Champions League qualification, Deportivo Alavés are doing their best to avoid relegation. They sit 17th in La Liga with 35 points, only three ahead of 18th-placed Las Palmas.
The 0-0 draw with Atlético de Madrid was essential for Alavés to keep fighting for survival, as Los Rojiblancos were unable to circulate around their block.
It would be a surprise that Deportivo have only suffered one defeat across the last five games, defeating Girona and Real Sociedad. Only Real Madrid (1-0) could grind out a victory against them, which can be explained by Alavés’ deep block. Although they offer little going forward, their solid defence often frustrates opposition who find themselves out of resources.
Abdelkabir Akbar is injured and will not play.
Deportivo Alavés Predicted line-up vs Athletic Club (4-2-3-1): Sivera; Sánchez, Mourino, Garcés, Tenaglia; Guevara, Blanco; Aleñá, Guridi, Vicente; García.
Bet hereThe hosts’ Europa League elimination against Man United has undoubtedly been a heartbreak, but the team cannot afford to lose more points. They will face Getafe, Valencia, and Barcelona after Sunday’s match.
The challenge for Ernesto Valverde will be to set his side up without the Williams brothers, Sancet and Álex Berenguer. All have been key in Valverde’s tenure in chance creation and the final third.
Athletic Club lack a decent striker (Sannadi or Guruzeta have both struggled). Still, the home advantage and the presence of Unai Gómez should be enough to secure a victory against one of the weakest teams in the league.
In the absence of Sancet and the William brothers, Gómez will be expected to step up. Although he is no match for Sancet, his campaign has been noteworthy, and his technical level allows him to lead the frontline by example. His creativity is key for a team focused on counter-attack.
