Athletic will host Levante on Sunday with the aim of ending its worst historical losing streak in San Mamés, where it has lost its last four home games, the last three of last season and the only one it has played in the current season. .
The last victory of the rojiblancos in Bilbao against the granotas was 3-1 on June 27 against Mallorca on the scoreboard with the goals of Raul Garcia, penalty, Oihan sancet Y Asier Villalibre and of Budimir for the visiting team.
After that match, Athletic fell consecutively against Real Madrid, 0-1 (Sergio Ramos, from a penalty), Sevilla, by 1-2 (Cap/Banega Y Munir) and Leganés, by 0-2 (Warrior Y Assalé), the latter scoring that left the Bilbao team without European options in the absence of a matchday.
On October 1, Athletic extended that negative streak, unprecedented so far in the club's history, by losing 0-1 against Cádiz in their first appearance of the current season in San Mamés with an own goal scored by Unai lopez.
The statistics against Levante have been favorable in recent seasons for a rojiblanco team that has settled with victory the last two visits of the ‘granota’ team, 3-2 in 2018-2019 (Yuri, Williams Y Muniain, from penalty /Roger, penalty and Tobacco) and by 2-1 in 2019-2020 (Muniain Y Cap/Shutter).
The last Levantine victory in San Mamés was 1-3 recorded on April 23, 2018 and materialized with the goals of Raul Garcia, for Athletic, and two goals from Bardhi and one of Morales, for the Levante.
The balance of the 14 Athletic-Levante played in the Biscayan capital reflects 10 local victories, 2 visitors and 2 draws, with 26 goals in favor of the rojiblancos and 12 for the ‘granotas’.
