Athletic Bilbao
Match Time & Date:

18:30
Prediction: 1-0
Mallorca
Athletic Bilbao will look to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid when they face Mallorca at Estadio San Mames on Sunday evening. The Lions continue with their old habit of producing excellent displays at home, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Ernesto Valverde’s men. Midfielder Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta misses out through suspension, with Benat Prados Diaz likely to step up. The Williams brothers should once again start for the hosts.
Los Bermellones, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Deportivo Alaves. Mallorca are undefeated in the previous four league matches, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to put our money on the Basque outfit. Robert Navarro should be fit for Sunday’s game despite limping off with injury against Alaves, while left-back Johan Mojica is back from suspension.
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 (Mallorca):
Thanks to a win over Deportivo La Coruna in the 2018/2019 Segunda Division play-offs final Mallorca secured promotion to Primera Division. Los Bermellones returned to the Spanish top flight following a six-year absence. Over the years Mallorca have turned their Estadi de son Moix into a real fortress, with the team producing much better showings at home than on the travels.
Opened in June 1999, the venue can hold up to 23,142 people. The club based in Balearic Islands are well known for their red shirts with one black stripe and black shorts. Mallorca’s away colours are white and red. Former Barcelona and Inter ace Samuel Eto’o is undisputedly the most notable footballer who played for the club.
Back in 1999 Mallorca made it to the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final, with the team suffering a 2-1 loss to Lazio in the title game. Four years later los Bermellones won Spanish Copa del Rey, which is considered the club’s biggest success.
