A fortress is which to play is not bad at all

The meeting, this Sunday at 2:00 p.m., corresponding to the 14th matchday of La Liga Santander against Osasuna, looks hard for the lions, bearing in mind that the team from Navarre holds its record of 31 matches without being defeated in their field, in El Sadar. However, for Athletic Club, in the last visit to the red stadium, it has not gone bad at all since it has achieved 4 victories in the last 5 encounters played against the newly promoted this season.

The most recent precedent between both teams takes us to the 2016-17 season when Athletic Club managed to beat the team coached by Petar Vasiljević by 1-2 with goals from Aduriz and Williams. The goal of the first one, supposed his goal number 100 with the red-and-white t-shirt. In the 2013-14 season, Ernesto Valverde’s team won the three points in Bilbao, winning 1-5 with goals from Susaeta, Aduriz (2), Ibai and Kike Sola.

The other two victories were in the 2012-13 season (Susaeta’s goal, 0-1) and the 2010-11 campaign (1-2, Muniain scoring the winning goal in added time). The lions only lost in the 2011-2012 season after falling 2-1 (curiously with goals for the Osasuna from Iturraspe on own goal and Raúl García; and Llorente for the Athletic).
