The strength of San Mamés
The strength of San Mamés
Athletic is the least scored team in La Liga and has 19 home points, a record that until the end of 2019 could only surpass four clubs
The excellent performance of Athletic Club in San Mamés continues setting milestones in the best red-and-white records. With the victory against Granada CF, Athletic has become the best team in LaLiga in its stadium, where it has achieved 19 of the 24 possible points. Only four teams could beat the red-and-white team between now and the end of 2019: FC Barcelona, with three matches still to play in Camp Nou; Real Madrid, with two (the last of them, against Athletic on December 22); Levante (which could reach 20 points), and the next rival of Athletic, Real Betis (which would need to win on Sunday to reach Athletic in this virtual ranking).
The outstanding numbers of the lions are based on defensive security, a section in which they also rank as the least scored team in LaLiga (at home and away). Only three goals conceded at San Mamés (Valencia, Valladolid and Levante), plus six conceded outside the Cathedral (Getafe, Leganés, Vigo, Pamplona and two at Wanda), make Athletic the team that has seen the ball least in the back of its goal so far in this competition.
