Elche and Athletic Bilbao will round up the proceedings in the opening round of the 2021/22 La Liga season with their clash on Monday evening at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero.
Elche barely saved the top-flight status last season. They needed a win over Athletic Bilbao in the last round and they got one, seeing off the non-motivated Basques 2-0 on the home patch.
The destiny wants Fran Escriba’s men to begin the new elite class campaign just against the same opponents. Can the hosts secure the same outcome, though?
Escriba is likely not the happiest man in the world after his team’s final pre-season exhibition as Elche produced a mediocre display in a 1-2 defeat to Levante.

埃尔切和毕尔巴鄂竞技将于周一晚上在曼努埃尔·马丁内斯·瓦莱罗球场进行2021/22赛季西甲首轮比赛。
上个赛季埃尔切勉强保住了顶级联赛的地位。他们需要在上一轮战胜毕尔巴鄂竞技，他们得到了一场胜利，在主场2-0击败了缺乏动力的巴斯克。
命运想要弗兰·埃斯克里巴的人开始新的精英阶级运动，只是反对同样的对手。然而，东道主能保证同样的结果吗?
埃尔切在1-2负于莱万特的季前赛中表现平庸，埃斯克里巴可能不是世界上最快乐的人。
