All eyes will be on San Mames when Athletic Bilbao and Deportivo Alaves face each other in the Basque derby, with the hosts aiming to return to winning ways following a slim 1-1 draw with Elche. Athletic have won 40% of their last 10 matches and have been productive at home, averaging 1.75 goals per game. Winger Nico Williams has yet to find his best form, while Egiluz and Vivian are both out of contention for Edin Terzic’s team.
Alaves, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to struggling Valencia and will be looking to bounce back. The Basques have won 50% of their last 10 matches and boast a solid defensive record, conceding just 0.80 goals per game. However, they are not regarded as good travellers, despite scoring in all of their last seven away matches. Rodriguez and Manas are expected to miss out through injury.
Athletic have scored in all 10 of their last home matches, while Alaves are coming off a disappointing defeat to Valencia. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside Over 3.5 yellow cards and Over 1.5 goals (55% of the previous 20 H2H meetings produced at least two goals, while Athletic’s home matches average 3.25 goals).
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 15:15.
