Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-2
Athletic Bilbao
Athletic Bilbao will look to build on a splendid 4-0 win over Mallorca when they take on Almeria in the closing match of La Liga round 24. The Lions aim to climb to the Champions League berth and they are surely capable of beating the rock-bottom side at Power Horse Stadium. Defender Yuri Berchiche, who scored a brace against los Bermellones, should keep his place in the starting XI, while Inigo Lekue remains in the recovery room.
The Andalusians are having a season to forget, with the team collecting only six points to date. Given Almeria’s shaky defence, we predict the Basques are going to emerge triumphant in Monday’s showdown. Leo Baptistao is banned for the match, while both Luis Suarez and Arnau Puigmal are out of contention through injuries. You should bear in mind that Athletic Bilbao emerged triumphant in ten of the previous eleven meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Player (Iñaki Williams):
Inaki Williams is one of the most talented Spanish players. The pacey winger, who plays as a centre-forward as well, started his senior career at Basconia, scoring seven goals in 18 appearances for the club. In 2014 he moved to Athletic Bilbao, but he played for the reserve team at the beginning.
Inaki impressed in the 2014/2015 season with Athletic Bilbao B and, as a result, he was given a chance to prove his worth in the Spanish top flight with the first team. The Spanish footballer made his La liga debut on December 6, 2014, replacing injured attacker Aritz Aduriz in a 1-0 loss to Cordoba.
Inaki Williams represented Spain at the 2017 U21 European Championship in Poland and he played 20 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Germany in the final of the tournament. Speaking of the senior squad, the Athletic Bilbao footballer made his Spain debut in a 3-1 victory over Bosnia on May 29, 2016. Inaki Williams was born in Bilbao on June 15, 1994.
Highlighted Team (Almeria):
UD Almeria is a Spanish club based in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Los Rojiblancos are one of the newer additions to the Spanish football system, with the club being founded on July 26, 1989.
Almeria suffered relegation to Segunda Division in the 2014/15 season, and they have been competing in the Spanish second tier ever since. Los Rojiblancos are well known for their white shirts with red stripes, while blue is the dominant colour of their away jersey. Sofiane Feghouli, Felipe Melo, Diego Alves, Veljko Paunovic, Aleix Vidal, Alvaro Negredo, Tomer Hemed, and Mate Bilic are some notable footballers who played for Almeria in the past. Fellow Andalusian clubs Sevilla, Malaga, and Granada are considered the club’s fiercest rivals.
The club’s biggest success in Copa del Rey came in the 2010/11 season when they made it to the semis of the prestigious competition. Nonetheless, Catalan giants Barcelona proved to be a big catch for Almeria in the Spanish Cup semi-finals.
