Head to Head 


This is going to be the first head to head match between Athletic Bilbao and Elfsborg. 

Athletic Bilbao Form 


Athletic Bilbao are currently sharing 2nd place in the Europa League standings with a couple of other teams, having ten points from four matches. 

After starting this campaign with a 1-1 draw against Roma, they earned back to back victories against AZ Alkmaar 2-0, Slavia Prague 1-0 and most recently Ludogorets 2-1. Inaki Williams has been the biggest difference-maker so far with two goals and one assist. 

As for their La Liga form, the Basque side ended their series of three draws last weekend with a 1-0 home victory against Real Sociedad, Oihan Sancet finding the net in 26th minute.  

They are currently 5th in La Liga with 23 points from 14 matches. 

Athletic Bilbao Injuries & Team News 


Manager Ernesto Valverde has no injury or suspension concerns for this match. 

Elfsborg Form 


Elfsborg finished the 2024 Allsvenskan season in 7th place, earning 45 points from 30 matches and will miss playing in European competitions next season. 

In the Europa League, the Yellow Ones began with a 3-2 defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands but pulled off an upset by defeating Roma 1-0 at home, with Michael Baidoo converting a first-half penalty. 

Elfsborg fought valiantly in the third round against favored Galatasaray but ultimately lost 4-3 in Turkey. Three weeks ago, they earned a 1-1 draw at home against Sporting Braga, with Emil Holten scoring a late equalizer. 

Elfsborg Injuries & Team News 


Midfielder Enzo Andren is doubtful for this match. 

Verdict

Athletic Bilbao are very strong at home so I don’t see a lot of room for inexperienced Elfsborg to cause an upset. The Basque side kept their net intact in both UEL games in Spain against AZ and Slavia Prague, so a home win to nil is the best bet.
