Captain Options

Iker Muniain – Playing on the left-flank and versatile enough to play anywhere up front, Muniain has 35 chances created and succeeded in 38 of his attempted dribbles. He has a pass accuracy of 86% and has a cross accuracy of 24%. He also opened the scoring against Atletico Madrid when he last started.

Inaki Williams – The Spanish international has 10 goal-contributions (5 goals and 5 assists) this season playing in a 2-man striker role. He has created 30 chances and succeeded in 27 dribbles. Williams’ is a fast-runner and his pace will give Eibar something to worry about when the 2 sides meet.

Differential Pick

Bryan Gil – The 20-year-old is a very sought-after player this season and rightfully so. Bryan Gil has created 36 chances this season and has completed an impressive 47 successful dribbles which is 57% of his attempted dribbles. Playing on the left-flank, Gil has also whipped in 30 accurate crosses to the striker pair upfront. He has been having a breakthrough season despite playing for a lowly Eibar side and will only get better from here.

ATH vs EIB Dream 11 Teams

Goalkeeper – Dmitrovic
Defenders – Capa, Berchiche, Alvarez
Midfielders – Berenguer, Muniain (C), Gil, Exposito
Forwards – Williams (VC), Garcia, Enrich

Likely Winner:

Athletic Bilbao will want to get back to winning ways and a side like Eibar will be the perfect opportunity to do so. Eibar will be no pushovers but converting the ATH vs EIB Today Match Prediction will be a tough ask from them. They will look to sit deep and frustrate the Athletic Bilbao frontline while trying to break them on the counter-attacks through the likes of Bryan Gil. The away side has more incentive to win as 3 points can tentatively pull them out of the relegation zone and put them 2 points clear.
