About this fixture
The historic San Mamés stadium plays host to a pivotal Matchday 25 encounter as Athletic Bilbao welcomes a struggling Elche CF. The Basque hosts enter the fixture on a high note, seeking to string together three consecutive league victories for the first time this season. With a push for European qualification within reach, Athletic will look to exploit their home-field advantage and the clinical form of Gorka Guruzeta. Conversely, Elche arrives in Bilbao desperate for points to pull themselves away from the relegation zone. Having failed to win in their last seven outings, the visitors face a daunting task against one of the league's most disciplined defenses in what promises to be a high-intensity "Friday Night Lights" clash.
