Athletic Club - Atletico Madrid

Athletic Bilbao look to build on their recent momentum as they return to San Mames for this LaLiga matchday 4 clash on 5 September 2026. After suffering consecutive defeats against Barcelona and Sevilla, the hosts found their rhythm with a clinical 2-0 victory over Celta Vigo last week. The expected XI, anchored by Inaki Williams and Aymeric Laporte, faces a stern test against an Atletico Madrid side that has shown impressive attacking fluidity in the opening weeks of the campaign.

Atletico Madrid arrive in high spirits following a dominant 3-1 win against Sevilla, maintaining an unbeaten start to their domestic season. The visitors, led by the creative pairing of Alejandro Baena and Kang-In Lee, will be aiming to replicate the success of their 3-2 victory in this fixture back on 25 April 2026. With both teams eager to establish early dominance, this encounter promises a tactical battle between two sides finding their best form.
