Prediction: 0-1
Athletic Bilbao
Iberostar Estadi will host Friday’s football game between Mallorca and Athletic Club, the two clubs with entirely different ambitions for the 2019/2020 La Liga season. The newcomers are determined to secure the top flight survival, whilst the Lions are eyeing a place in European competitions. The islanders head into the match following back-to-back losses to the likes of Real Sociedad and Valencia and seeing that they failed to impress in a friendly against lower-league side Poblense, we do not believe that the hosts are capable of matching the Basque outfit.
Athletic Club did well to beat the likes of Real Sociedad and Barcelona in August, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the away team. A man to watch in the away side will be veteran Aritz Aduriz, who scored a magnificent goal in the 1-0 win over Barca.

Highlighted Player (Joan Sastre):
Joan Sastre, who started his youth career at Mallorca back in 2009, has been playing for los Bermellones ever since. Sastre made his senior debut with Mallorca in a 1-0 win over Peralada on August 20, 2017 and he scored his first ever goal for the islanders in a 1-1 draw with Badalona on December 10, 2017.
The pacey right back was born in Porreres, Spain on April 30, 1997 and it has to be noted that he has two caps with la Roja U19 team. Joan Sastre has established himself as a first-team regular at Mallorca, with the defender making 29 appearances in the Segunda Division last term.
The Spaniard was deployed in the starting line-up for the decider against Deportivo La Coruna where Mallorca emerged triumphant (3-0) and secured promotion to La Liga. Joan Sastre’s contract with los Bermellones should expire on June 30, 2023. His preferred foot is right.
