H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Athletic Bilbao Team Overview
🔴 Over the weekend, the Basques couldn't hold on for a draw against Real Madrid, falling 1-0. Despite this, Athletic remain comfortably in fourth place in the standings. A key factor has been Ernesto Valverde's side's exemplary defensive performance, conceding just 0.81 goals per match, the best record in the league. Additionally, the Lions have been formidable at their home ground, San Mamés, amassing 33 points from 16 games, ranking them fourth in the league for home performance.
📣 After the tough match at Santiago Bernabéu, Ernesto Valverde refrained from criticizing his team's performance: "They have outstanding players. We did an incredible job of denying Real's leaders space and worked tirelessly to create our own chances. It's crucial for us to keep our heads up and move forward."
❌ It remains uncertain whether Valverde can count on Nico Williams this coming Wednesday. The Spanish forward experienced discomfort following the European fixture against Rangers (2-0). His absence over the weekend significantly reduced Athletic's attacking options.

Las Palmas Team Overview
🟡 It seems Diego Martinez has instilled a newfound confidence in the Las Palmas squad. With only one defeat in their last five matches, Las Palmas are clearly experiencing a psychological boost. In their previous outing, the "Palms" pulled off a sensational victory over Atletico Madrid (1-0). Their zonal defense and frequent positional changes left Diego Simeone's side perplexed. Utilizing a 4-4-2 formation might reduce attacking variability, but it significantly enhances their defensive reliability.
📣 Following the success at "Gran Canaria," Diego Martinez shared his thoughts on the game: "The team believed in the plan and executed it well. Sometimes everything goes according to plan, and today was one of those days. From a tactical standpoint, it was a brilliant game for the coaches. Reaching this point really confirms that all the obstacles and negativity surrounding the team have been overcome. But this is not the end - there are still plenty of matches ahead where we need to pick up points." It's worth noting that Las Palmas have finally managed to climb out of the relegation zone, now sitting in 17th place.
❌ A significant blow for Las Palmas ahead of the 33rd round of La Liga is the suspension of Javier Munoz. The key midfielder accumulated too many yellow cards in the clash with Atletico (1-0). The injury list also includes crucial players Fabio Silva, Kirian Rodriguez, and Jasper Cillessen.
