How to Watch Elche vs Athletic Club: Stream La Liga Live, TV Channel

La Liga is set for a top-half tug-of-war in its comeback weekend as Elche and Athletic Bilbao sit level on points ahead of Sunday’s showdown

Elche holds the slimmest of advantages over Sunday opponent Athletic Bilbao, with the two teams sat level on points in La Liga ahead of their clash in Week 9. Los Franjiverdes hold the edge for the time being thanks to their superior goal difference, and either team has the potential to jump into Spain’s top four with a win at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero this weekend. Los Leones triumphed 4-1 the last time they visited this ground more than two years ago, though Elche has the most recent victory in this matchup after winning at San Mames in May 2023.

Former Barcelona assistant coach Eder Sarabia has Elche firing on all cylinders since regaining its place in the top flight, doing better than any other promoted outfit so far this season.

The Valencian side have lost just one of their eight games back in La Liga and have conceded only nine goals, level with high-flyers like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Athletic struck late to earn a 2-1 win over Mallorca just before the international break, where Inaki Williams and Alejandro Rego came up with the goals:

That snapped a run of six straight games without a win across all competitions for Ernesto Valverde’s men, who will hope the international break provides some much-needed respite.

Athletic will have close to a clean bill of health for its trip to Elche, with only long-term absentees Benat Prados and Unai Egiluz expected to be sidelined for the visit.

Meanwhile, David Affengruber will be suspended after he was sent off in Elche’s 3-1 loss at Alaves a fortnight ago, while Grady Diangana is out due to injury.
