Match Facts
Athletic Club (14th, 3 points):
- Ernesto Valverde´s men reach the fifth matchday after having conceded a 3-1 at Villarreal. Recover from this heavy defeat and add points again will be the targets of the "Leones" in the clash against Real Madrid.
- Aduriz found the net again and tally to three goals in the league championship. The Basque striker is, along with Raul Garcia, the main danger to the Whites. Besides, Aduriz scored last season against Real Madrid.
- San Mamés is a sure bet for the "Leones". FC Barcelona suffered much to take all three points at Bilbao and against Getafe CF, Athletic got its first and only league win.
Real Madrid (3rd, 10 pts):
- Unbeaten after four matchdays. Real Madrid arrives at San Mamés as the only team of Liga BBVA which has not conceded a goal in the course so far.
- Negative precedent: the last time that the Whites visited the Cathedral they left with a 1-0 defeat. Besides, two seasons ago, Real Madrid failed to win either, as they drew to one goal.

- A new opportunity: Real Madrid will play with the incentive of being able to get the top of Liga BBVA, as long as the Barcelona, playing an hour earlier at Balaidos, loses in the tough match against Celta de Vigo.
