Athletic Bilbao are looking good this season under Ernesto Valverde. The team from the Basque Country is in a great fourth place after 6 rounds and after the representative break. With only 4 goals conceded in this period, Athletic Club is the third best defense in the league after Barcelona (only 1 goal conceded) and Villareal, who conceded 2 goals. The attack lost in the last two games. Bilbao used to have problems in previous seasons, but it seems that with these two games against Rajo Vallecano and Elche, the team gained confidence in situations in the end of actions. Therefore, I believe that Almeria should "fear" their opponent. Almeria is in terrible form since Umar Sadiq left the club and moved to Real Sociedad. They have lost in three games against opponents of a similar level in a row and it is difficult to get out of such a situation. Several players are questionable and insufficiently recovered, while only 3 players were with the national teams, and from that side, Almeria could breathe a sigh of relief. However, an 'impossible mission' awaits them today, because even in better situations in previous years, they did not manage to do well at San Mames in Bilbao. Since 2010, Athletic has won 4 times at this stadium against Almeria in 4 attempts: 4-1 and 1-0 in 2010, 6-1 and 2-1 in 2014/15. That was a long time ago, but some things remain "unchanged" regarding these two teams.

The momentum is certainly on the home team's side, and they didn't have too many players with the national team during this break, and that's why I think the Basques are certainly focused on achieving another win in a row, and the opportunity and the opponent are ideal for continuing the series.

毕尔巴鄂竞技队本赛季在埃内斯托·巴尔韦德的带领下看起来不错。来自巴斯克地区的球队在 ​​6 轮比赛和代表休息后排名第四。竞技俱乐部在此期间仅丢了4球，是联赛防守第三好的球队，仅次于巴塞罗那（仅丢1球）和比利亚雷亚尔丢2球。进攻在最后两场比赛中失利。毕尔巴鄂在前几个赛季曾经遇到过问题，但似乎通过这两场对阵拉霍·巴列卡诺和埃尔切的比赛，球队在最后的动作中获得了信心。因此，我认为阿尔梅里亚应该“害怕”他们的对手。自从奥马尔·萨迪克离开俱乐部并转会到皇家社会后，阿尔梅里亚的状态就很糟糕。他们已经连续三场输给了类似水平的对手，很难摆脱这样的局面。几名球员有问题且恢复不足，而只有 3 名球员在国家队，而从那一侧，阿尔梅里亚可以松一口气。然而，今天等待他们的是一个“不可能完成的任务”，因为即使在前几年更好的情况下，他们在毕尔巴鄂的圣马梅斯也未能取得好成绩。自 2010 年以来，Athletic 已经 4 次在该体育场赢得了 4 次对阿尔梅里亚的胜利：2010 年 4-1 和 1-0，2014/15 年 6-1 和 2-1。那是很久以前的事了，但是关于这两支球队，有些事情仍然“没有改变”。

势头肯定在主队一方，在这次休息期间他们没有太多的球员在国家队，这就是为什么我认为巴斯克人肯定会专注于连续取得另一场胜利，机会和对手是继续系列赛的理想选择。
