Prediction: 1-1
Athletic Bilbao
There will be fireworks when Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club face each other at King Fahd International Stadium in the Spanish Super Cup semis. Los Rojiblancos head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Villarreal where Geoffrey Kondogbia was sent off in the stoppage time. The former Valencia midfielder, though, is illegible to play in the Super Cup, while both Jose Gimenez and Luis Suarez are back from suspension.
The Lions, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Deportivo Alaves in the Basque derby. Since Athletic Club are likely to rely on their solid defence in Thursday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. Unai Vencedor limped off with injury in the last league match, while experienced midfielder Raul Garcia should be recalled to the starting line-up. Both Nunez and Villalibre miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Luis Suarez):
Luis Suarez is a controversial footballer who plays for La Liga side Barcelona as a striker. The Uruguayan forward moved to Europe in 2006, signing a deal with Groningen. After scoring 10 goals in 27 league appearances for the club in the 2006/2007 Eredivisie campaign, he joined Ajax at the end of the season. The prolific striker scored no less than 81 goals in 110 appearances for Ajax and, as a result, Liverpool chiefs decided to sign him on 31 January 2011.
Suarez became the club’s most expensive signing and he was producing thrilling performances with the Anfield outfit between 2011 and 2014. Liverpool were on the verge of winning the 2013/2014 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and they eventually finished the season in second place in the standings.
In 2014 Suarez joined Barcelona and he was the top scorer in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign. He won the 2013/2014 Premier League Golden Boot as well and in 2011 he clinched the Copa America trophy with Uruguay.
Highlighted Team (Athletic Bilbao):
Athletic Club (mostly known as Athletic de Bilbao) is a Spanish football club from the Bask region which is playing currently in the Primera Division. The club from Bilbao is playing in the highest Spanish division since its founded in 1928 and is next to Real Madrid and FC Barcelona for a longest period of time in the Primera Division. Athletic de Bilbao used to play until 2012 in the San Mames stadium (also known as La Catedral).
Since 2013 the club is playing in anew stadium. Athletic Bilbao is known for its rivalry with Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid was founded by Bask students in Madrid. The old relationship between both teams is visible in the red blue jerseys of both teams.
