The 24-time Cup winner and eight-time champion of Spain performed below it’s capabilities in the past season and is located in 11th position. The fans left all their hopes for the winter transfer window, during which some roster renewal is expected. The start of the new championship for the “lions” was with varying success. In 17 rounds of the current championship Athletic won six victories and three draws, which brought 21 points and ninth place in the current tournament. In December the red-whites played with varying success and ended the year with a victory over Huesca (2:0), a peaceful outcome with Villarreal (1:1) and a loss to Real Sociedad (0:1). Bilbao held its debut meeting in 2021 at its stadium and delighted fans with its first victory in a calendar year over Elche (1:0). The performance indicators of the Basques were 19 to 19 goals scored and conceded. Lopez, Nolascoain and Alvarez will remain in the hospital of Marcelino Garcia Toral’s wards today.
Fiorentina is failing in the first round and cannot find its game in any way. Cesare Prandelli clearly does not live up to the expectations of the management and fans. So far, “violets” are only 14th in the table and are only four points ahead of the relegation zone. In the last round Fiorentina scored a goalless draw with Bologna in the derby, thus extending the unbeaten streak to four games. More soccer predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
