Athletic Club are looking for their first home win of the season when they host Atlético Madrid at San Mamés in the fourth round of LaLiga. The visitors have Julián Álvarez in their squad after the forward missed some training sessions and Atlético’s match against Sevilla.
Athletic made a difficult start under new coach Edin Terzić, losing 3-1 at home to Sevilla and then falling 2-0 to leaders Barcelona at Camp Nou. They earned their first victory away at Celta Vigo and now want to add three points in front of their supporters.
The Basque side beat Atlético 1-0 last season with a goal in the 84th minute. Terzić also has positive memories of facing Diego Simeone’s team, having eliminated Atlético in the 2023-24 Champions League quarterfinals while managing Borussia Dortmund. Dani Vivian and Beñat Prados are doubts because of physical problems, while Peio Canales will miss the match with a soleus injury.
Atlético travel to Bilbao after a 3-1 victory at Sevilla, where world champion Álex Baena scored twice. Simeone’s team sit third after drawing 2-2 at home with Villarreal and beating newly promoted Málaga 2-0 in the opening round. Alexander Sørloth remains doubtful as he continues recovering from injury.
The match starts at 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, September 5. Movistar Plus lists the subscription at 9.99 euros per month, with no long-term commitment, and says customers in Spain can watch on two devices in different locations.
