Athletic Club host Getafe at San Mamés Stadium on October 25 in Regular Season - 10 of La Liga, a matchday where the season is starting to take shape. Athletic Club sit 13th and Getafe 15th, so two sides in the lower half meet with little separating them in the standings and both looking for momentum.

The most telling factor is how few goals Athletic Club have scored lately. Of their last four league fixtures in the data, three finished 0-0: Alaves on September 19, Rayo Vallecano on October 10 and Valencia on October 17. The fourth was a 3-1 defeat at Levante, a Round 6 fixture played on October 21. That is one league goal in four matches. E. Terzić's side have kept clean sheets in those three draws, but the Levante result shows the defence can still be breached. Getafe have found goals only slightly easier, with two in their last four league games, and have conceded five in that span, including a 3-0 loss at Barcelona on October 10.

The head-to-head record adds a psychological layer. Getafe won the last two meetings, 1-0 at San Mamés on October 25, 2025 and 2-0 at home on April 5, 2026. Before that, Athletic Club won 2-0 at Getafe on both May 15, 2025 and May 3, 2024. Six of the last ten meetings ended level, which points to tight, low-margin contests.

Schedule context matters for Pepe Bordalás's team, who played away at Universitatea Craiova in the UEFA Europa Conference League on October 15 (1-1) and then drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on October 19.

Neither club has reported any unavailable players, so both managers should have full squads to choose from. With that in mind, the contest looks likely to be decided by which side can end its recent scoring drought.
