However, the Lions are winless in their last four home matches in La Liga having registered three draws and one defeat.
 
“We’ve played away from home twice now [against Elche CF and Celta], without conceding," Mikel Balenziaga, the Bilbao left-back, said.
 
"We are doing well in defence and attack, but there’s still room for improvement in both aspects. There are a lot of talented young players. That’s what gives us life.
 
"But we have to be patient with them. We all want results, but we have to go slowly, albeit whilst being demanding on a daily basis.”
 
Meanwhile, Mallorca emerged 1-0 winners over Espanyol at home in their previous league encounter which was played on August 28.
 
The Reds are now undefeated in four matches in this competition having recorded two consecutive wins and two successive draws.  
 
They are also unbeaten in their last two matches on the road in La Liga having registered one win and one draw as the visitors. 
 
The last meeting between Bilbao and Mallorca in a league match was on 27 June 2020.
 
Bilbao thrashed Mallorca 3-1 in an encounter that was played at the San Mames Barria.
