Athletico Bilbao
Bilbao have had no joy playing football this month. They began with a loss at the Camp Nou and were beaten at home by Granada last Saturday. Sandwiched in between the two matches was a drab 0-0 draw at home in the champions league against Shakhtar Donetsk. Their only win of the league season this year came against Levante on August 30 when they beat the latter by 3 goals – one each from Aritz Aduriz, Iturraspe, and Iker Muniain. The win had come after the side had secured passage into their first ever campaign in the modern Champions League by beating Italian side Napoli in the second leg of their playoff match. Aduriz had scored a brace on that occasion with Ibai Gomez scoring as well in a 3-1 win for the Basques.

Eibar
Eibar have had a decent start to their campaign thus far. They had begun with a home win over Real Sociedad on the opening day of the season in a match which was decided by Javi Lara’s solitary strike. Following a dream start to their campaign, Eibar went down to the defending champions by 2-1 in Madrid and their disappointment continued into the third gameweek when they lost to fellow promoted side Deportivo La Coruna. In their last match coming into this game, Eibar secured a crucial 2-0 away win at Elche which might help them stay in this division at the end of the ongoing season. Dani Garcia and Raul Albentosa scored the two goals, both of which came in the first half of the game.
