It was a great start to the season from Athletic. After three rounds, the Basques have 7 points and zero conceded goals. On the home pitch, the Lions drew 0:0 with Mallorca and beat Valencia narrowly. A 4:0 away win over Cadiz. As a result, Athletic are fifth in the standings, behind Barcelona and Villarreal on goal difference.

Espanyol started the season with a draw (2:2 against Celta). However, the Catalans lost two home games in a row, firstly to Rayo Vallecano (0:2) and then to Real Madrid (1:3). Espanyol has conceded at least two goals per game in every La Liga game 2022/23. They need to do something with their defense. The Catalans are 16th in the standings.

It's been a long time since Athletic struggled for a place in the top-four, and this season has started admirably, with seven points after three rounds. The supporters of the future hosts hope that this season their favorites will be competitive in this competition. However, they could do with a third win in a row, especially as the Lions face Espanyol. We expect a dry win and two goals from Athletic.
