Athletic have won four in a row after returning from this season’s final competitive break at club level. Valverde’s men have won the three league matches played since then, on the one hand, and the Europa League match on the other. Last season, in that case between the League and the Cup, they won six games in a row.
The streak began in the month of December. Valverde’s men beat Atlético de Madrid (2-0) and UD Las Palmas (1-0) back-to-back at San Mamés, they won 0-2 at Pizjuán against Sevilla, they passed the cup tie against Eibar in Ipurua (0-3) , won the home derby against Real (2-1) and qualified for the quarterfinals of the KO tournament after defeating Alavés in Bilbao (2-0). That good streak of the red and white team was blown on matchday 21 of the Liga at the Mestalla, when they were beaten 1-0 by Valencia.
Against Marcelino
The lions’ current winning streak includes four games so far: 1-0 against Real, 3-0 against Elfsborg in the Europa League, 1-2 against Rayo and 2-1 against Real Madrid. Defeat at Marcelino’s Villarreal on Sunday would make it four straight league victories and five overall for the Lions.
