Stuttgart vs Athletic Bilbao friendly live stream and team news
Stuttgart and Athletic Bilbao conclude their pre-season preparations when they meet in a friendly at the MHPArena on Saturday afternoon (2:30pm, UK time).
It’s been a goal-laden pre-season for Stuttgart, who come into this final game having registered 18 goals across their previous four matches, albeit conceding six times. Under the leadership of the highly sought-after tactician Sebastian Hoeneß, they finished runners-up in the Bundesliga last season, the club’s highest finish since winning the championship 17 years ago.
This will be the third different Champions League opponent for Athletic Bilbao, who have already suffered preseason losses to Aston Villa and Sporting CP. Ernesto Valverde’s men finished fifth in La Liga last term, an improvement of three places.
