Athletic Club hosts Elche on Saturday 12 September at 18:30 at San Mamés in jornada 5 of LaLiga EA Sports, with the match available on Movistar LaLiga.
It is an early-season meeting that comes at a very different moment for the two clubs. Athletic Club arrives after two convincing victories, including wins over Celta and Atlético de Madrid, while Elche is still looking for its first league win.
How the teams arrive
Before this trip to Bilbao, Elche had taken only one point from 12 and had gone through three consecutive defeats. Athletic Club, by contrast, has six points from its last two matches and sits in 10th place, while Elche is in 19th.
The fixture also comes with a quick turnaround for Elche, which will receive Real Madrid next Tuesday. That makes this weekend’s match another important test for a side still trying to settle into the season.
What to watch
Athletic Club coach Terzic is dealing with multiple injury absences before the match. Dani Vivian is not expected to be available by the international break, while Peio Canales could return to the Athletic Club group next week.
For viewers, the broadcast information is straightforward: Athletic Club vs Elche will be shown on Movistar LaLiga, with live coverage also available through Radio MARCA and MARCA.
