Athletic Club welcome Villarreal at San Mames, Bilbao on Sunday, Jan 10 at 3:00 PM in a LaLiga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Athletic Club come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Villarreal travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Athletic Club and Villarreal have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Villarreal won 2–1.
Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Athletic Club win or a draw looks most likely.
