The 2025-26 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this week as Girona lock horns with Ernesto Valverde's Athletic Bilbao side in an important encounter at the San Mames Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Athletic Bilbao vs Girona Preview
Girona are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 4-0 defeat at the hands of Levante last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate over the past year. The Basque giants suffered a 2-0 defeat against Valencia in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
