A big one at San Mamés!
Our team faces Athletic Club away on Saturday at 4.15pm CET.
Our team travel to San Mamés this Saturday to face Athletic Club at 4.15pm CET in one of the standout fixtures of LaLiga Matchday 4. It will be another demanding test in a busy September, with several consecutive matches away from the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
Simeone’s side head to Bilbao unbeaten and looking to continue their strong start to the league campaign at one of the toughest venues in Spanish football. The Rojiblancos have picked up seven points from a possible nine in their opening three matches, recording two wins and a draw. Last time out in LaLiga, we claimed an impressive 3-1 victory away to Sevilla thanks to a brace from Baena and a goal from Lookman.
The trip to Bilbao marks the start of a challenging run of away fixtures. After that will be a visit to Anfield for our UEFA Champions League league phase opener, followed by another LaLiga trip to face Real Sociedad.
Athletic Club, meanwhile, come into the match on the back of their first win of the season. Edin Terzić’s side began the campaign with defeats against Barcelona and Sevilla before responding with an important 2-0 victory away to Celta at Balaídos.
Atlético and Athletic Club share one of the most historic rivalries in Spanish football. The most recent LaLiga meeting between the two sides came on 25 April at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, where the Rojiblancos secured a 3-2 win. Everything is set for another big battle between two historic clubs.
