Key Highlights
Athletic Club Looking to Break into the La Liga Top Four
Athletic Club’s form has cooled in recent matches. They have only won twice in their last five outings in La Liga, drawing twice and losing once in this run.
This run of form has them sitting fifth on the table with 46 points, two behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid.

Girona Looking to Stay Within Touching Distance of Real Madrid at the Top of La Liga
Girona have dropped seven points in their last five outings in La Liga; they have won twice, drawn twice, and lost once in this run.

They will look to get straight back to winning ways, especially since Real Madrid have opened a five-point lead at the top of the table.
A win away to Athletic Club will allow them to regain some of their confidence and retain a title charge in the latter stages of the season.
