**Athletic Club's dominance at San Mamés meets an Alavés side that just dismantled Osasuna** — this Basque derby has all the makings of a home showcase 🔴⚪
Athletic are humming despite missing key defensive depth, while Alavés are wildly inconsistent (5-2 one week, 0-1 the next). The gap in pedigree and home record is enormous.
Key storylines:
- **I. Williams and N. Williams** headline Athletic's attacking thrust, a deadly twin threat Alavés' patchwork defence will struggle to contain
- **Athletic Club's fortress mentality** — 17 wins in 31 head-to-heads shows this fixture is essentially home turf psychology
- **Alavés banking on chaos** — their 5-2 demolition of Osasuna proves they can turn it on, but consistency remains their Achilles heel
Expected lineups:
- **Athletic Club**: U. Simón, Y. Berchiche, A. Laporte, A. Paredes, I. Williams, N. Williams, O. Sancet, R. Navarro
- **Deportivo Alavés**: A. Sivera, V. Koski, N. Tenaglia, J. Otto, L. Boyé, T. Martínez, Á. Pérez
Prediction:
**Athletic Club 3-1 Deportivo Alavés** — the hosts lean on their Williams twins and home advantage, while Alavés' injury crisis makes a quiet Saturday likely 📍
Our calls before kick-off, and how they went.
A confidence, not a tip. We do not claim these beat the bookmakers' price — the odds are short precisely because the outcome is likely.
