Athletic Club vs Getafe Preview
Athletic Club
After opening their preseason outings with back-to-back wins, Athletic Club have lost their last two matches leading up to the La Liga opener on Thursday.
Their opening wins came in matches against Eibar (1-0) and Osasuna (2-1) before they lost a thrilling clash against Premier League side Aston Villa (3-2) and were heavily beaten by Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart (4-0).
Ernesto Valverde will look to get his side in the right frame of mind ahead of kickoff on Thursday. Ensuring that they turn around their preseason form and get to a winning start at San Mames will be crucial for the home fans and the manager.
Our football predictions show that Athletic Club will be a tough prospect for all visitors to the San Mames; they will especially be confident with all signs showing that the Basque club are likely to keep their star player Nico Williams.
Getafe
Getafe are unbeaten in their last two preseason matches after beating Ligue 1 newcomers Saint-Etienne (1-0) and drawing 0-0 against Championship side Southampton.
However, Getafe have also displayed their Achilles Heel in their preseason matches; they have scored just twice in their last four preseason matches, keeping one clean sheet and conceding five times.
22Bet’s football prediction analysis shows that Getafe need to rejig their structure and shape to get the best out of their attack even as they bolster their defensive solidity.
In their trip to San Mames, solidity will be the focus for visiting manager Jose Bordalas. Keeping the home side out will be crucial to bolstering their chance of getting something from this match on Thursday.
