ATH vs ALA Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Athletic Bilbao vs Alaves Laliga Live Score October 2
Published on: Oct 1, 2021 9:00 pm IST|Updated on: Oct 2, 2021 12:16 am IST
ATH vs ALA Dream11: This is one of the minor Basque derbies but it remains something of a rivalry regardless of its status in the region. Marcelino’s Athletic come into this on the back of a 1-1 draw with his former club Valencia in the previous match. That point maintains their mid-table place with just one defeat all season. They come up against an Alaves side that had scored just one goal and lost all six games before they hosted reigning champions Atletico Madrid last weekend. They overcame their opponents, though, and won 1-0 in a shock victory. Their low-scoring form is likely to remain with under 2.5 goals highly likely in this game.

Kick-Off: 12:30 AM (IST)

MID: Muniain, Berenguer, Ortega, Garcia
FOR: Joselu, Williams
Likely Winner:
- Athletic Club are on something of a wobble after an impressive start to the campaign, failing to win any of their last three games.
- Last time out, they should have taken all three points away to Valencia having gone into the final moments with a one-goal lead and an extra man after the home side had a player sent off, but they conceded deep into injury time and Inigo Martinez’s opener was cancelled out.
- That followed a defeat to Rayo Vallecano and a draw with Atletico Madrid for Marcelino’s men, and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways here.
- Speaking of desperate, that sums up Alaves’ mood at the moment after they had lost all of their first five games of the season. Though, they ended that dreadful run last time out with a stunning result.
- Javi Calleja’s men took an early lead against Atletico Madrid through Victor Laguardia and never looked back, defending excellently to see out the win against the champions.
- The Basque side will be hoping for similar success here after such a disastrous start, but away from home and against an energetic Athletic Club, they are likely to come up short.
Match Odds:
The odds in favour of a Athletic Bilbao in this clash is 2.34.
