The season is proving to be excessively long for Bilbao Athletic in Group 1 of the Primera Federación. The team has not secured a victory since March 15, when they triumphed 0-1 at Tajonar against Osasuna's reserve team, currently second to last. In thirteenth position with 45 points, eight points from the play-off spots and with a nine-point cushion from the relegation zone, the young team faces only four remaining matchdays in the regular season.

The internal goal of competing for play-off positions is fading week by week for the Bilbao team, which is the worst of the three Vizcayan teams in contention. Barakaldo is six points ahead, and Arenas is two points ahead, both positioned higher in the standings than Bilbao Athletic, which has gone six consecutive matchdays without a win, accumulating four losses and two draws. The most recent draw was last Sunday away against Unionistas, who were reduced to ten men in the 74th minute.

The statistics starkly reflect the situation: Bilbao Athletic has achieved only one victory in the last nine matchdays and two in the last thirteen, placing them among the worst teams in the league during the final stretch of the competition. They are the worst team in the group over the last five matchdays, alongside Arenteiro, with just one point, and also rank as the second-worst team over the last fifteen matchdays, having accumulated only 14 points.

In the upcoming matchday, Jokin Arambarri's squad will host Ourense on Sunday at Lezama, starting at 4:00 PM. In this encounter, they will need to improve their performance to secure a victory and aim for a respectable end to the season, as their play-off chances have drastically diminished. Bilbao Athletic's opponents in the final three matchdays will be Pontevedra and Ponferradina away, and Guadalajara at Lezama.
