Athletic Club are coming off a 3-2 home win over Sevilla on the opening day of LaLiga 2025/26, and could win their first two games of a season at San Mamés for the first time since 2019/20 under Gaizka Garitano (3).

Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten in their last six LaLiga matches (W4 D2), and have won their last three away games – they have never won 4+ in a row away from home in their history in the top-flight.
