The 2025-26 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Getafe lock horns with Ernesto Valverde's Athletic Bilbao side in an important encounter at the San Mames on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe Preview
Getafe are currently in 12th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate over the past year. The Basque giants eased past Qarabag FK by a 3-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
