Sestao vs Athletic Bilbao Live Streaming Info Revealed as Bilbao to Face Spanish Side in Club Friendly

La Liga dark horses Athletic Bilbao (also known as Athletic Club) will be kicking off their pre-season preparations against Spanish fourth-division club Sestao. The two teams share quite a history, having faced each other twice in the Copa del Rey, with Bilbao triumphing both times.

Athletic Club had a disappointing outing last season, finishing 12th in the domestic league, with just 45 points. Not only did they miss out on European football for this season, but also their performance in the last year's UEFA Champions League was even worse.

They failed to qualify as one of the best 24 teams to even find a playoff spot after finishing 29th with just 2 wins in 8 games. Edin Terzić is the new manager of the club from the 2026/27 season, after Ernesto Valverde stepped down following the conclusion of his contract.

The Basque club would look to have a better season this time with a probable European spot for the next season, and managing to win at least one domestic cup like the Copa del Rey or the Spanish Super Cup to call it a successful first term under the new manager.

Sestao River finished seventh in the Segunda Federación - Group 2 on 50 points, missing the playoff spot by just seven points. They were relegated from the third division, aka the Primera Federación, in 2024/25 after finishing 17th, so this finish in the fourth division would not disappoint them much considering the hole they were in before.

They too went through a change of personnel as Aitor Calle had to leave in March 2026 due to unsatisfactory performances, and Aner Blanco was promoted to lead the team for the rest of the season as the interim head coach.

Héctor Urquía was appointed as the new manager for the upcoming season, as the club have hopes of turning it around and being back in the third division as soon as possible. For them, this match against Lehoiak would prove to be the best test ahead of the new season, while Terzić can figure out his required tactics by playing the majority of the youth team players who are waiting for a chance to impress.
