The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Granada lock horns with Ernesto Valverde's Athletic Bilbao side in an important encounter at the Estadio los Carmenes on Sunday.
Granada vs Athletic Bilbao Preview
Granada are currently in 19th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Basque giants eased past Cayon by a 3-0 scoreline in the Copa del Rey in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.
