Athletic have three consecutive victories in the League, something that already happened in the 2022-23 season, when Valverde began his third cycle on the first team bench. The lions then had two options to achieve their fourth consecutive victory, but in both cases they were stopped by today’s rival in San Mamés. After beating Cádiz, Rayo and Almería drew 1-1 at Pizjuán and Sevilla, with Mendilibar on the bench, won 0-1 in Bilbao against an Athletic team that had just beaten Espanyol, Real and Almería.
Valverde currently has four centre-backs in his squad: Yeray, Vivian, Paredes and Nuñez. The first was absent due to a muscle problem, the second had to be substituted in Rome after receiving a heavy blow to the face and the last two managed, along with Berenguer, to score the equalizer at the Olympic Stadium five minutes from finally. Paredes only scored in the League at Las Palmas. Vivian, for his part, scored the first goal against Leganés.
