Fifth place in La Liga and winning the country's cup doesn't sound bad at all for Athletic Bilbao. That's how they ended the old season and will try to start the new one with a victory. Star player Nico Williams is still in the team and is even expected to play in this match, while coach Ernesto Valverde has signed a new contract.
Getafe did not have a particularly good season, and even ended it in a bad way. They finished with five consecutive losses and only scored one goal, finishing 12th in the final standings. It is currently hard to believe that they can improve their performance, considering the departures of players like Mason Greenwood, Jamie Mata, Juanmi, and Oscar Rodriguez.
Prediction: Athletic Bilbao to winGetafe managed to get a draw from their visit here last season, but almost a year has passed since then. Lately, the guests do not seem stable at all and have been abandoned by some key players, while Athletic is largely the same and we expect them to start the campaign with a victory.
