Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe Preview and Prediction: Last-minute Equalizer

Latest team news for Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe

Athletic Bilbao will continue to be without Benat Prados, Yeray Alvarez, and Unai Egiluz due to injury. Additionally, Inaki Williams will need to be assessed after being forced to leave the field early in the first half of the match against Qarabag.

If Inaki is unavailable, Alex Berenguer will be his replacement in attack. Gorka Guruzeta – who scored a brace in the Champions League match – is likely to play as the lone striker.

Mikel Jauregizar was a standout performer against Qarabag and is almost certain to start. Jesus Areso and Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta could also return to the starting lineup.

On Getafe's side, both Allan Nyom and Alex Sancris are suspended after receiving red cards in the match against Real Madrid. Davinchi is out until early next year due to injury, while Abdel Aqbar's availability is a big question mark.

Young striker Adrian Liso – who has scored 3 goals in 6 games this season – will continue to be given opportunities in attack. Alongside him is Borja Mayoral, who also has 2 goals in 6 appearances. The midfield will be manned by the duo of Mario Martin and Luis Milla.
