Prediction: 2-0
Getafe
Athletic Bilbao will look to kick off the new La Liga campaign in style when they welcome Getafe to their San Mames on Thursday evening. The Lions are seen as hot favourites to win the season opener, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. All Agirrezabala, Serrano, and goalkeeper Unai Simon are sidelined with injuries, while big-money signing Alvaro Djalo is likely to make his La Liga debut against los Azulones. The good news for Athletic Bilbao fans is that Spain ace Nico Williams has rejected FC Barcelona.
The capital club, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Southampton in their last warm-up game. Getafe, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling the Basques’ party at San Mames. The likes of Peter Federico, Jiri Letacek, Diego Rico, Alex Sola, Chrisantus Uche and loanee Carles Perez have joined the club in the summer transfer window, while Choco Lozano, Nemanja Maksimovic, and Jaime Mata are no longer part of the team.

After spending his youth career at Real Sociedad, Dani Garcia made his senior debut for Alicante B.
