Athletic Bilbao Statistics 2025-2026

After 29 matchdays of the 2025-2026 La Liga season, Athletic Bilbao's statistical profile reveals a team sitting 9th with 38 points. The record reads 11 wins, 5 draws and 13 defeats, translating to a 38% win rate and 1.31 points per match. At this pace, ATH project to finish with approximately 50 points — a comfortable margin above the relegation zone.

The attacking numbers paint a detailed picture: 32 goals scored in 29 matches produces a rate of 1.10 goals per game, ranking ATH as the 14th most productive attack in La Liga. By comparison, the league's top-scoring team has 78 goals, meaning ATH are 46 goals behind the best attack. In modern La Liga, teams averaging above 1.8 goals per game typically finish in the top 6, while those below 1.0 per game face relegation pressure.

Defensively, 41 goals conceded (1.41 per game) earns ATH the 10th ranking among La Liga defences. The resulting goal difference of -9 is perhaps the single most predictive statistic for final league position — historically, goal difference correlates more strongly with points total than either goals scored or conceded individually. A positive goal difference typically indicates a team that controls matches, while a heavily negative differential suggests systemic issues that need addressing beyond individual results.

Athletic Bilbao's mid-table statistics show a balanced but unspectacular profile. Improvement in either the defensive metrics could realistically push ATH several positions up the table.
