Before kickoff
Athletic Club vs Elche is scheduled for 12 September 2026, 23:30 (Asia/Bangkok).
Three things to watch
- Watch how the away team handles the first wave of pressure. Short passes out of defence and direct balls require different midfield support.
- Look for space behind the full-backs when possession changes. The first pass after a turnover can decide whether a counterattack develops.
- At set pieces, follow the runners away from the ball. Movement at the near post often creates space for a teammate further back.
