This took their winless run to 4-matches since their 2-1 triumph over Villarreal in late October.
Since that win, 3 draws and a loss have followed which has dropped Bilbao to 8th place in the table with 19 points from 13 matches.
On the other hand, Granada lost 4-1 away to Real Madrid making it successive losses. This lost left them in 17th place with 11 points from 13 matches having lost 6 this season.

With just 1 win from their last 5 matches, Granada is desperate to get back to winning ways as the poor run is keeping them near the danger zone.
Asensio, Fernandez, Junior and Mendy scored for Los Blancos while Suarez’s 34th minute strike for Granada proved to be a mere consolation effort.
Both sides last met earlier in March during the La Liga 2020-21 where Athletic Club won 2-1 at home.
Villalibre broke the deadlock for the hosts before Molina equalized. But an extra time goal from Berenguer gave Bilbao the victory.
