Athletic Bilbao vs Villarreal Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

On April 12, Athletic Bilbao are hosting Villarreal in La Liga of Spain, with the match kicking off at 19:00 UTC.

7 months after their last face-off in La Liga, Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal meet again. In their last match, Villarreal secured a 1-0 win. Athletic Bilbao's last outing ended in a victory over Real Betis in La Liga last Sunday, setting the tone for this upcoming clash. However, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last eighteen matches. Athletic Bilbao face a key test leading up to their match against Villarreal though, as they take on Getafe in La Liga, and their performance in this fixture could leave a significant mark on their readiness to face Villarreal.

After their recent win against Real Sociedad, Villarreal approach this match with renewed confidence in the same manner. However, they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, with goals conceded across five consecutive matches. Before Athletic Bilbao, Villarreal will play Girona in La Liga, which will test their form and squad depth before facing Athletic Bilbao.

In this La Liga showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal throughout the campaign. The attacking efforts of Athletic Bilbao, guided by Ernesto Valverde, have been driven by Gorka Guruzeta, the team’s primary goal threat, and Robert Navarro, both of whom have delivered in crucial moments. In La Liga, Guruzeta has been Athletic Bilbao’s standout scorer with six goals, as Williams continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with four assists. Athletic Bilbao’s attacking depth is further showcased by Nico Williams, Alejandro Berenguer and Oihan Sancet, who have each made valuable contributions this season.

Meanwhile, Villarreal’s attacking options, under the tactical direction of Marcelino, have been bolstered by Georges Mikautadze, the team’s top scorer, and Alberto Moleiro, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Mikautadze leads Villarreal’s scoring charts in La Liga this season with nine goals, while also leading the team in assists, having set up five goals this campaign. Nicolas Pepe, Santi Comesana and Gerard Moreno have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Villarreal’s attack.
