Match Facts:
Athletic (9th, 32 pts):
- The Basques are undefeated in their last 10 LaLiga Santander outings at San Mames. Indeed, Los Leones have only succumbed to defeat once this term on their own patch, when they were narrowly edged out by FC Barcelona in their opening home game of the campaign. Since that reverse, Ernesto Valverde's troops have gone on to record seven wins and three draws on home turf.
- Athletic ran out 1-0 winners in the sides' meeting at Riazor back in September, with Raul Garcia's strike sealing the spoils for the visitors.
Deportivo (15th, 19 pts with a game in hand):
- Sharpshooter Florin Andone comes into this one in fine goalscoring form. The Romanian striker has struck seven times in the Galicians' last 10 LaLiga Santander fixtures, a return which has propelled him to the top of his side's scoring charts.
- Depor have registered 10 away victories over Athletic in the club's LaLiga Santander history. However, Gaizka Garitano's troops are still searching for their first win on the road this term, with their 11 away trips having yielded five draws and six defeats.
