Athletic’s probable XI to face Elche as Terzic targets third straight win | OneFootball

Athletic aim to make it three wins on the spin when they host Elche at San Mamés on Saturday at 18:30. According to as.com, Edin Terzic is seeking to extend the surge after seeing off Celta and Atlético, turning the page on a sluggish start that included an early red card for Yuri Berchiche against Sevilla and defeat to an irrepressible Barça.

For this fixture the German coach will be without injured trio Vivian, Canales and Guruzueta, plus the operated Egiluz. Gerenabarrena has had his yellow card rescinded.

The expected XI features Unai Simón in goal, a Golden Glove nominee. The back line could be Areso or Rincón, Yeray or Paredes, Laporte and Berchiche.

In midfield, Galarreta and Gerenabarreta could form the double pivot, with Jauregizar not ruled out. Nico Williams, Sancet and Navarro could operate as the three behind the striker.

Up front, Iñaki Williams is the immovable number nine given Guruzeta’s muscle injury.
