Athletic Bilbao have hit a slump in form after a strong start to the season and will be desperate to get back on track with a statement win away to Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.
The Basques kicked off the La Liga campaign in style by rattling off three successive victories but they've since gone five games without a win.
Four of those matches have ended in defeat, including a 2-0 home loss to Arsenal in their European opener that brought up a couple of winners for Slips Tips.
Ernesto Valverde's men also crashed 1-0 away to Villarreal on Saturday so they need a result in Dortmund to boost morale.
The German giants are in much better shape, having gone seven games unbeaten so far this season.
But they will still be smarting from throwing away a two-goal lead in stoppage-time away to Juventus in their Champions League opener.
That 4-4 draw, which brought up two bets for our man Vladislav, was a thriller and this clash with Bilbao has the potential to be another cracker.
How the bookies view it: Bilbao written off
With Athletic Club in such poor form, it's no surprise to see them as 10/3 outsiders at BoyleSports. Dortmund are odds-on favourites but their price is still decent at 20/23. The draw pays 5/2.
Head to head: Spain pain for Borussia
These teams have never faced off before but Athletic Bilbao have a decent record against German opposition, winning six of their 14 games and losing four.
Dortmund's record against teams from La Liga isn't great, with just 13 victories from 44 matches.
Players to watch: Guirassy in the groove
Serhou Guirassy missed the weekend win at Mainz with a thigh issue but Dortmund are optimistic their star striker will be fit. The deadly finisher has six goals to his name already this season and is 11/10 at Paddy Power to add to that tally.
Bilbao are missing the spark of star man Nico Williams, who is out injured, but his brother Inaki is still capable of some magic. The Ghana international has yet to score this season and is 17/4 at BetMGM to get off the mark.
Probable line-ups
Dortmund have plenty of problems, with Emre Can, Julien Duranville, Aaron Anselmino, Fabio Silva and Niklas Sule set to miss out.
In addition to top man Williams, Bilbao are set to be without Benat Prados, Unai Egiluz, Alex Berenguer and Yeray Alvarez.
Borussia Dortmund: Kobel, Anton, Bensebaini, Couto, Nmecha, Sabitzer, Svensson, Ryerson, Guirassy, Beier, Adeyemi.
Athletic Bilbao: Simon, Gorosabel, Vivian, Paredes, Boiro, Vesga, U Gomez, Sancet, I Williams, Jauregizar, Navarro.
Anything else catch the eye?
Dortmund have only conceded in two of their seven games this season but they shipped seven goals across those draws with St Pauli and Juventus.
So it's hard to predict if we'll see goals at both ends in this one, although betting against BTTS looks decent value at 21/20 with BoyleSports given Bilbao have scored just once in their last five games.
Dortmund have been averaging almost six shots on target this season so there could be some value in backing Bilbao keeper Unai Simon for over 3.5 saves at 11/8.
