Blanco most bookable — Alavés' anchor in a feisty Basque derby

The Basque derby at an electric San Mamés. Athletic Club have the home quality advantage — Williams (18 goals) leads the attack against an Alavés side that memorably beat Getafe 3-0 in GW1. Blanco's card profile in this feisty derby and Williams' SoT are the headline angles.

CornersLow-medium risk

Athletic Club most corners — San Mamés pressure

Athletic averaged 5.8 corners per game in 2025/26. Their high-pressing, direct style generates corner after corner at San Mamés. Alavés average 4.4 — this is a strong Athletic corners angle.

Shots on targetLow-medium risk

Iñaki Williams 2+ shots on target

Williams had 18 goals and 56 SoT in 2025/26 — Athletic's relentless leading attacker. Against Alavés who conceded 62 last season, his pace and directness make 2+ SoT a reliable line.
