Soccer fans are already looking forward to the match between Athletic Bilbao and UD Almeria on April 22, 2023, at the Estadio de Los Juegos Mediterraneo. After losing their previous match against Atlético Madrid by a score of 2-1 in La Liga, UD Almera will not want a repeat of that performance here.
UD Almera had 36% possession and 2 attempts at goal in that match, but none of them were successful. Leo Baptisto (37′) was the only UD Almera player to score. On the opposite side, Atlético Madrid had 19 shots at the objective with 7 of them on track.
Atlético Madrid’s goal scorer was Antoine Griezmann (5′, 43″). It has been only sometimes in ongoing games that UD Almería has kept a spotless sheet. As a matter of fact, UD Almería has neglected to keep rivals from scoring in 6 of their past 6 conflicts, surrendering 10 objectives on the way.
Athletic Bilbao enters this match having defeated Real Sociedad 2-0 in their previous outing in La Liga. Athletic Bilbao had 51 percent possession and 13 shots on goal, five of which were successful. Iaki Williams (33′, 69′) was the only Athletic Bilbao player to score.
Real Sociedad had 13 shots on goal, four of which were successful. The Athletic Bilbao defenders’ string of solid performances has brought their total number of “goals against” to four from their six previous matches. They scored eight goals themselves in that same time period. However, that kind of example will not be guaranteed to finish this match.
