Athletic Club will be content with their form in recent matches. They have managed four victories to go with two defeats in their last six games. Bilbao were in fine form in La Liga before the World Cup break kicked. They sit at the fourth spot with 24 points to their name above the likes of Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Valencia and Sevilla. It will be a great opportunity for coach Ernesto Valverde to test the depth of his squad in these club friendlies.
Guadalajara will be disappointed with how their recent matches have turned out to be. In their last six games, they have earned just a couple of victories along with three defeats and a draw. They currently sit at the ninth spot in the Mexican league with 22 points from 17 games, 17 points off the summit. A fixture against Athletic Club provides them with a chance to test their competitive strength and prepare for the matches to come.
As expected, both the sides will be short as far as their squads are concerned due to the ongoing FIFA World Cup. This, however, presents the young and squad players to get some valuable game-time. For Guadalajara, Antonio Briseno and Jose Macias are out injured.
