Athletic Bilbao - AZ Alkmaar: Form Analysis

The red-and-whites are stuck with the handbrake on. While Ernesto Valverde's side were aiming to bounce back against Sevilla, they were unable to do better than a draw against a side that has been losing its luster in recent weeks. Despite this, the Lions are still unbeaten in all competitions, which means they can look forward to another European meeting with confidence. Objective: a clean sheet and victory at the end of normal time. 

After a hard-fought win over Elfsborg a week earlier, Maarten Martens' men have been on a roller-coaster ride in the Eredivisie. Defeated by Utrecht in front of their home fans Alkmaar would have liked to have seen a different scenario before traveling to Spain. With the current momentum, the visiting team is at a disadvantage.

Athletic Bilbao & AZ Alkmaar Squad Analysis

It's been three games now since the Williams celebrations have been able to make the difference. Fortunately for the Rojiblancos, Nunez has stepped up to the plate to keep his partners in the hunt for the last two games. In a top-of-the-table match, the two brothers will have to come up trumps if Bilbao are to take the lead on the scoreboard. 

AZ's rearguard is not in good form, but that's not the case with their attack. In the four previous goals, the Kaaskoppens have relied on the van Bommel (2) - Parrott (2) double act to rattle the opposing net. If the attacking players in the visitors' camp continue to be effective, the show should be on in Spain.
