Athletic Bilbao
The Basque club sits the 8th position, has 48 points and intends to make it into the Europa League, though their rivals have been up to every move. That is the reason Athletic will face a tough struggle in the upcoming rounds. Judging by competition form, Garitano’s troops have been doing just fine – 3 wins in the last 4 fixtures and one defeat from mighty Barcelona. As to the last round, the Basque team managed to get an away win over Valencia, which are usually extremely strong at their home ground. That says a lot about good stamina, discipline and wise tactical decisions that Athletic demonstrated in the previous fixtures.
