Athletic Club are set to host Getafe in the tenth round of La Liga this Sunday, October 25th, at San Mamés. The Basque side, sitting 11th in the table with 9 points, are aiming to turn their unbeaten run into a much-needed home victory.
The match is scheduled for a 2:00 PM local time kick-off. Athletic approach this fixture on a five-match unbeaten streak, though four of those games have ended in draws. Their most recent result was a goalless draw away to Valencia last weekend.
League position
After seven games, Athletic have recorded two wins, three draws, and two defeats. Those 9 points leave them 18 behind league leaders Barcelona. Their goal difference remains positive, having scored seven and conceded six. Keeping a clean sheet will be a key aim against a Getafe side with inconsistent form. The full squad available for the coming fixtures can be seen on the squad page.
Opponent analysis
Getafe travel to Bilbao following a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano in their last league outing. Their four-match run also includes a Conference League draw, a defeat to Barcelona, and a win over Málaga.
The last starting XI featured Unai Simón in goal, with a defence of Hugo Rincón, Aitor Paredes, Aymeric Laporte, and J. Louis-Jean. Beñat Gerenabarrena and Ruíz de Galarreta anchored the midfield, supporting an attacking line of Álex Berenguer, Peio Canales, Robert Navarro, and striker Williams.
Athletic's immediate schedule is demanding. After the Getafe clash, the team travels to face 17th-placed Levante on Wednesday, October 21st. A win this Sunday would provide key momentum ahead of that trip to a direct rival in the lower half of the table.
