San Mamés is the venue for a La Liga encounter on Saturday evening as Athletic Club takes on Getafe.
The hosts make a quick return to action after a midweek win against Qarabag in the Champions League while Getafe make the trip to Bilbao after a narrow home defeat against Real Madrid last weekend.
Past encounters between these sides have been remarkably tight, and another keenly contested La Liga matchup is expected in the Basque Country.

Athletic Club and Getafe have met on 11 occasions since 2020. Athletic Club won three games while Getafe triumphed once. Six of their eight most recent encounters finished level.
Athletic Club team overview
Athletic Club come into Saturday's La Liga encounter with spirits raised by their midweek win against Qarabag in the Champions League. Gorka Guruzeta bagged a second-half brace to secure a comeback victory for Ernesto Valverde's side.
After a miserable run of form in September, Athletic have enjoyed an improved run of form. The Bilbao-based side lost six of seven games before remaining unbeaten in their last three games.
Valverde's men claimed a 2:1 win against Mallorca in their most recent league runout at San Mamés before a goalless draw against Elche.
Low-scoring outcomes have been frequent in La Liga, with five of their last six games finishing with under 2.5 goals scored.
Head coach Valverde has a few injury issues this week. Inaki Williams could miss out after he was forced-off in Wednesday's win against Qarabag. Beñat Prados and Unai Egiluz are also expected to remain sidelined.

Getafe team overview
Getafe make the trip to Bilbao after losing their cool in last week´s 1:0 defeat against Real Madrid. Álex Sancris and Allan Nyom both saw red as Los Merengues edged to a narrow win at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.
Having made a solid start to the season with three wins in their first four La Liga games, José Bordalás´s side have since failed to win their next six league fixtures.
Like the home side, low-scoring outcomes have been a frequent occurrence for the visitors. Under 2.5 goals were scored in six of their last eight games, and in six of their last eight matches against Bilbao.
Head coach Bordalás is unable to call on the aforementioned duo Álex Sancris and Allan Nyom after their red cards against Real Madrid. Getafe have no reported injury issues this week.

Prediction
A tight, hard-fought and likely low-scoring contest is expected in Bilbao this weekend. Under 2.5 goals is my best bet, with further stakes placed on a low-score draw at San Mamés.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Under 2.5 Goals
- Athletic Club have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches against Getafe
- Athletic Club have seen under 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches
- Getafe have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
