As part of the twenty-ninth round of La Liga, we will see a fundamental Basque derby between Athletic and Real Sociedad.

With 40 points on a goal difference of 38:29, Athletic are seventh in the standings and are top contenders to finish in the Conference League zone. It should be noted that in the previous five meetings, the Lions defeated Valladolid 3:1 and Espanyol 2:1, but at the same time they stumbled with Rayo Vallecano (0:0), Barcelona (0:1) and Getafe (0:0).

Since the beginning of spring, Real Sociedad suffered a fiasco 0:2 against Villarreal, drew 0:0 with Cadiz and 1:1 with Mallorca, and also defeated Elche (2:0) and Getafe (2:0). Thus, Txuri-Urdin still retain the fourth position, which is advantageous in terms of getting into the Champions League, with 51 points and goal statistics of 37:26.

The matches of these teams in Bilbao are most often held in a bitter struggle and practically do not please the audience with scoring extravaganzas. As for us, even now the teams will play with extreme caution, as they still have tournament motivation.
