Bilbao Athletic seeks fifth preseason win
Bilbao Athletic and Barakaldo face off today in El Malecón, Somorrostro, at 6 PM. This will be the fifth preseason match for the Bilbao Athletic side. The Bilbao Athletic team, led by Bittor Llopis, has drawn with Burgos (1-1) and won against Sestao River (0-1), Leonesa (0-2), and Amorebieta (0-1).
Why it matters for Bilbao Athletic
The Imanol de la Sota-led team has also not lost in preseason. The gualdinegros drew with Eibar's B team (3-3) and won against Mirandés (2-0) and Alavés B (0-1). Adrián Lekuna, a 20-year-old left-back, has been loaned from Athletic to Arenas. The agreement between the two parties will last until the end of the current campaign.
What comes next
It's worth noting that both Vizcayan teams will compete in the same category, Primera RFEF, and consequently in the same group, 1, this season. Lekuna will be in the ranks of the Historical with another left-back who defended the rojiblanca shirt last season: Eneko Ebro.
