Before the start of the season, the Basques played seven friendlies, winning three and losing to Burgos, Sporting Lisbon, Aston Villa, and Stuttgart, with Athletic failing 0:4 to the Germans. The results are poor, to put it mildly, but we should not forget that these matches were friendly ones after all. The Basques sold Nunez to Celta, Villalibre left for Alaves, and Iker Muniain finished his career. After that, they bought the rights to left winger Alvaro Djalo for 15 million euros.
Getafe
The Citizens sold Unala and Lozano, while Maksimovic, Mata, and Poveda left as free agents. They rented Perez and bought Sola, Federico, Letacek, and Rico. Before the season's start, Getafe played six control matches, lost to Oviedo, Zaragoza, and Atletico, and drew with Coventry City and Southampton, victory over St. Etienne. The results were slightly better than those of the Basques in the friendly meetings, but the opponents of Getafe were weaker.
Expert Betting Tips
Athletic hasn't looked their best in many of their friendlies, but that doesn't mean the Basques will lose points in the opening match of La Liga 2024/25. On the contrary, we believe the Lions will win against a rather comfortable opponent. The Basques are noticeably stronger than the opponent in terms of the squad. As for the total, we don't expect a high performance from the match, and we won't be surprised if a single goal decides the outcome.
