Struggling team Athletic Bilbao (0-2-0, 0 points) will try to find their first win of the season against lowly squad Getafe FC (0-2-0, 0 points) in a 2015-2016 La Liga game on Sunday, September 13 at the Estadio San Mamés in Bilbao.
Both sides are still winless in the current Spanish season as they went through weeks 1 and 2 with just one goal to show for combined.
The Supercopa de España winners lost their opening game, 0-1, at home against the team they defeated for the Super Cup trophy, FC Barcelona, behind the lone goal of Luis Suarez, as per The Guardian.
Veteran striker Aritz Aduriz was not able to repeat his hat trick performance in the Super Cup a few days before their La Liga opener.
They again lost their second game of the season without a goal, 0-2, in the hands of SD Eibar on August 30 on the road, which capped the disappointing start of the season for manager Ernesto Valverde.
El Geta also suffered two straight losses to open their season, but they managed to score in their last game versus Granada CF, 1-2, via SkySports.
Substitute midfielder Ángel Lafita scored at the 80th-minute mark to put Fran Escribá's men on the board.
The predicted result is a 1-0 triumph for Los Leones. Aduriz will tide Bilbao to their first win of the season while Getafe will try again in their next game against Malaga.
Athletic Bilbao starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Iraizoz; Boveda, Etxeita, Laporte, Martinez; Elustondo, Benat; de Marcos, Goni, Gomez; Aduriz
Getafe CF starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Guaita; Suarez, Velazquez, Alexis, Vigaray; Medran, Meira; Leon, Stati, Rodriguez; Vazquez
