Written by: Dimitar Published: 03-02 13:40:06

Best form in years

Athletic is doing perfectly well in the last month. The team have only one defeat in their last eleven games in all competitions (8-2-1). The Lions are also on a run of five straight wins at home in all tournaments and in the last four they even didn’t concede a single goal. In the midweek Athletic won their first semifinal game for the cup against Mirandes (2:1 as visitors) and have great opportunity to play in the final. Bilbao is showing great condition even when they play so much games in the last month. Llorente didn’t manage to score in only one of the last six games for the team. Igor Gabilondo (11/2), Aitor Ocio (0/0) and Xabier Castillo (0/0) are out for this game.

Not so good as visitors

Espanyol is also playing really well in Primera recently, but the team made a shocking defeat against Mirandes in the quarterfinal for the cup ten days ago. The team are counting mainly on their home games (6-2-2), while in the games away this season they have only three wins and just eight goals scored in Primera (3-2-5). Espanyol also have only one win in their last eight games away from home (1-3-4). Out for this game are Walter Pandiani (8/2), Alvaro Vazquez (16/3), Cristian Alvarez (17/0), Sergio Garcia (15/5), and Javi Marquez (0/0).

Bilbao will take the three points

Athletic don’t have a defeat at “San Mames” against Espanyol in the last eleven encounters between the two teams (6-5-0) and also the last five meetings between the two sides finished with a win for the home team.
