Real Sociedad
There will be fireworks when Athletic Club and Real Sociedad face each other at Estadio San Mames in a highly-anticipated Basque derby. The Lions are roaring much louder at home than on the travels, and they are surely capable of matching La Real in the local derby. Alex Berenguer is pushing for a start after finding the net in a 3-2 loss to Mallorca, while Inigo Martinez is back from suspension.
Both Ander Capa and Oscar de Marcos are major doubts following their recent positive tests for coronavirus. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Granada. The visitors aim to climb to the Champions League berth, but seeing that Athletic Club have turned their “San Mames” into a real fortress, home win should be considered. The good news for the visitors is that Igor Zubeldia returns from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Iker Muniain):
Iker Muniain was once considered one of the most talented players in Spain, but he obviously failed to reach his full potential. Munian is an attacking midfielder, who is capable of playing as a forward as well and he began his youth career at Chantrea. In 2005 he made probably the best decision of his career as he joined Athletic Bilbao youth academy.
He made his debut for Athletic Bilbao on 30 July, 2009 in a 1-0 loss to Young Boys in the Europa League. Iker Munian impressed in the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign with the Lions, scoring nine goals in all competitions, but he failed to make a bigger progress. The Athletic Bilbao product has been struggling with injuries and it has to be noted that the injury he suffered against Sevilla on 4 April, 2015 could have ruined his career.
However, he returned to action on 20 December, but he was playing below expectations in the second half of the season. Iker Munian made his Spain debut on 29 February, 2012 in a friendly against Venezuela. La Roja won the match 5-0 and Munian came as a substitute in the 74th minute of the match.
