The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Getafe lock horns with Ernesto Valverde's Athletic Bilbao side in an important clash at the San Mames on Sunday.

Getafe are currently in 13th place in the La Liga standings and have improved after a relatively slow start to their campaign. The Madrid-based outfit stunned Sevilla with a 2-0 victory last month and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Basque giants eased past Real Valladolid by a 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
