Bilbao Athletic tests its top start in Primera RFEF against Extremadura
Bittor Llopis’ reserve side is unbeaten with 11 points and in the playoff zone; today they visit an Extremadura that has gone three games without scoring.
This Sunday, Bilbao Athletic under Bittor Llopis puts its hot start to the test in Primera RFEF: 11 points and unbeaten as they face Extremadura. The visiting team sits in the relegation positions and is coming off three matches without scoring.
The clash carries a reminder of past good runs. In 2018-19, the Bilbao Athletic of Gaizka Garitano (before he later jumped to the first team) began with a 13-from-15 haul in Segunda B. Back then, they beat Tudelano (2-0), Amorebieta (3-1), Leioa (1-4) and Gernika (3-0), and drew 0-0 at Gimnástica de Torrelavega.
The current push is also being driven by Txus Vizcay, who has found the net four times in his last three outings for the Athletic reserve side.
