Athletic Bilbao: form and statistics

Athletic met with Arsenal in the Emirates Cup on the eve of the start of the Spanish championship. The Basques completely failed: they couldn't come up with anything worthwhile in attack, and there was complete confusion in defense – 3:0 in favor of the Londoners. However, the start of the Bilbao team in La Liga inspires some optimism. The Lions scored three consecutive wins – 3:2 over Sevilla, 1:0 over Rayo Vallecano and 2:1 over Betis.

The break for the national team matches was not in favor of Athletic. Firstly, they played one friendly match with Osasuna, in which they lost 0:1, and after that, in the Primera Liga, they were weaker than Alaves in their stands – 0:1.

Arsenal: form and statistics

Mikel Arteta's players are showing their usual conditions in the new Premier League season. Arsenal is trying to win the elite from year to year, but there is very little missing.

Let us remind you that not so long ago there was a meeting between the Gunners and the Scousers. The coaching staff decided to play pragmatically and defensively, which was a fatal mistake – 0:1. However, the Londoners had no problems in the remaining games – 1:0 over Manchester United, 5:0 over Leeds, 3:0 over Nottingham.
