However, Mallorca are undefeated in their last two home matches in La Liga having recorded one victory and one draw as the hosts.
"It bothers me that when we were at our best they managed to score against us," Mallorca manager Luis Garcia Plaza said after their defeat to Bilbao.
"The game was difficult for us to build from the back. Athletic are a very intense and very tough team and they pressured us very well.
"After we corrected things, things turned out better, but it was not enough. At some point, they have targeted us from set-pieces and that cost us "
