La Liga 2025-2026: Athletic Bilbao-Getafe, the probable formations

Reduced by three useful results between the league and the Champions League, which allowed them to regain their smiles after a nightmarish September, Athletic Bilbao hosts Getafe, another team in the belly of the La Liga standings, on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in the tenth day of the championship. It will be played at the San Mamès, the temple of the Basque club.

In the success in European competition against Qarabag (3-1 the final result, coming back from a one-goal disadvantage), Gorka striker Guruzeta, who scored a brace, was particularly outstanding. The 1996 class has already scored three times in the Champions League, but he is still looking for his first league goal: he is likely to start, supported by Berenguer, Sancet and Nico Williams.

On the other hand Getafe, after a sprint start (three wins in the first four) has literally jammed: in fact, from Sept. 21 onward only two points have come in five games even though on the previous day, against Real Madrid, José Bordalás’ team sold its skin dearly, losing 1-0 with Mbappé’s goal at the 80’80’, which came only after the first of two expulsions for the Azulones, that of Nyom (followed shortly afterwards by the second yellow against Alex Sancris).

Probable lineups

ATHLETIC BILBAO (4-2-3-1): Simon; Areso, Paredes, Vivian, Boiro; Ruiz de Galarreta, Jauregizar; Berenguer, Sancet, N. Williams; Guruzeta. All. Valverde.

GETAFE (3-4-1-2): Soria; Dakonam, Iglesias, Duarte; Femenia, Milla, Arambarri, Rico; Martin; Liso, Mayoral. All. Bordalás.
