Athletic Bilbao

It was a great start to the season from Athletic. After three rounds, the Basques have 7 points and zero conceded goals. On the home pitch, the Lions drew 0:0 with Mallorca and beat Valencia narrowly. A 4:0 away win over Cadiz. As a result, Athletic are fifth in the standings, behind Barcelona and Villarreal on goal difference.

Espanyol

Espanyol started the season with a draw (2:2 against Celta). However, the Catalans lost two home games in a row, firstly to Rayo Vallecano (0:2) and then to Real Madrid (1:3). Espanyol has conceded at least two goals per game in every La Liga game 2022/23. They need to do something with their defense. The Catalans are 16th in the standings.

It's been a long time since Athletic struggled for a place in the top-four, and this season has started admirably, with seven points after three rounds. The supporters of the future hosts hope that this season their favorites will be competitive in this competition.
