After the victory against Sevilla, Athletic finds itself in the same dilemma as when it defeated Eibar and Levante. The challenge now is to increase the positive streak to two consecutive wins, but it will not be easy at all, because if in the current League he has not yet achieved it, in the past championship he could only achieve it three times.
In this campaign, after beating Eibar in Ipurua (1-2) Athletic was defeated in San Mamés against Cádiz (0-1). Y after the victory against Levante (2-0) there was no continuity either, since the fiasco of El Sadar occurred (1-0). Now it remains to be seen if the rojiblanco team will be able at José Zorrilla de Valladolid to increase the number of consecutive victories to two.
In fact, It is something that he has not achieved since last July 1
, when on the 33rd day of the last championship took the three points in the visit to Valencia in Mestalla (0-2), with a double from Raúl García, after the previous day lions also sand imposed on Mallorca in San Mamés (3-1) with goals from the same Raúl García from penalties, Sancet and Villalibre.
On March 8, precisely before the Pucelano team and before the stoppage occurred due to the expansion of the pandemic, another stroke of two games was closed, winning.
If on the 26th day the lions had defeated Villarreal in San Mamés (1-0) with a penalty from Raúl García, a week later they completed a spectacular win at the Blanquivioleta stadium (1-4) with goals from Unai López, Raúl García, Williams and Córdoba.
The other occasion in which in the last League there was more than one victory followed by Athletic was almost a year ago. Actually There were three matches that the rojiblanco team won consecutively.
First they beat Levante in San Mamés (2-1) with goals from Muniain and Capa, which served to overcome a result that had become difficult.
Then, the Lions They took the three points of El Sadar against Osasuna (1-2) with so many from Williams and Kodro.
And to complete the batch of triumphs, Granada fell in Bilbao (2-0) with goals from Raúl García from a penalty and Yuri Berchiche.
