Athletic Club return to home soil to face Villarreal at 9:00 PM today in what could be a turning point in their LaLiga campaign.

Athletic Club are under pressure to rediscover form after a difficult run. Villarreal have been relatively steady, taking 2 victories in recent outings.

Historically, Athletic Club hold the edge with 4 wins to Villarreal's 2 in 10 meetings. 4 of those have ended in draws. Their most recent meeting saw Villarreal came out on top 0-1.

Athletic Club's preferred 4-2-3-1 shape may stretch the field, while Villarreal's 4-4-2 setup looks built for discipline.

Expect a tight, tactical affair. Athletic Club may hold the edge at San Mames, but Villarreal's quality on the break shouldn't be underestimated.
