Villarreal CF is set to face Athletic Club at San Mamés this upcoming Sunday, April 12, with a recent history that highlights the 'Yellow Submarine's' struggles in their visits to 'La Catedral'.

The number 13, often associated with bad luck, seems to reflect Villarreal CF's results in their trips to San Mamés. In their last 13 visits for Primera División league matches, the 'Yellow Submarine' has only managed to secure one victory.
This sole recent victory occurred six years ago, on September 26, 2018, during the sixth matchday of the 2018-19 season. On that occasion, the team led by Javi Calleja won 0-3 with goals from Pablo Fornals, Funes Mori, and Toko Ekambi. The other 12 visits have resulted in 7 losses and 5 draws for the Vila-real-based team.
Despite these recent results, Villarreal CF's overall record at San Mamés is not entirely bleak. Out of 25 Primera División matches played against Athletic Club, the 'Yellow Submarine' has managed to score points in 14 instances, with 6 victories and 8 draws, representing 56% of the matches.
The last encounter between both teams at San Mamés was on December 8, 2024, corresponding to matchday 16 of the previous league season. Athletic Club won 2-0 with goals from Aitor Paredes and Iñaki Williams. In that match, Villarreal CF's goalkeeper, Diego Conde, suffered an injury and was replaced by Luiz Júnior, who made his Primera División debut. Gerard Moreno also sustained an injury in the final minutes.
