Recent La Liga match results have seen Athletic Bilbao struggle to secure victories. On September 11, the club played to a 1-1 draw against Elche CF at San Mamés after Iñaki Williams scored to offset an early penalty goal by Elche.

By the seventh round of the league, Athletic Bilbao faced Deportivo Alavés in a Basque derby. Despite controlling 66% of possession and recording 23 shots, Athletic Bilbao was held to a 0-0 draw. The match's decisive moment occurred in the 70th minute when Alavés goalkeeper Antonio Sievers saved a penalty taken by Oihan Sancet. Following these results, Alavés holds 6th place in the standings with 11 points, while Athletic Bilbao sits in 8th with 8 points.

In a subsequent derby at San Mamés, Athletic Club and Alavés played to a 1-1 draw. Despite dominating much of the match and creating more opportunities, Athletic Club was unable to secure a victory, marking their second consecutive draw at home. 

Defender Aymeric Laporte expressed disappointment after the match, noting that while the team maintained a solid defensive performance, they lacked clinical finishing in the final third. He highlighted that converting a missed penalty could have fundamentally changed the outcome. While Laporte was noted for defensive reliability and goalkeeper Unai Simón had little work to do, Oihan Sancet struggled by missing a penalty and committing errors, while Nico Williams faced heavy marking from the opposition defense.
