On May 11, 2025, Athletic Club is set to face Alavés at San Mamés in Bilbao, Spain, for a LALIGA match. AI predicts a victory for the home side, with a 53.2% probability compared to Alavés's 21.7%. The draw probability sits at 25.0%. Athletic Club, however, are coming off a tough defeat against Manchester United in the Europa League.
