Match preview

Can Athletic Club stay in the hunt for European qualification?

Last weekend, Marcelino’s team drew 1-1 with Villarreal, taking the lead through Raúl García at Estadio de la Cerámica.

So, the Lions have only won three of their last eight matches, meaning they remain eighth, one point behind Villarreal and nine adrift of Real Sociedad.

The side from Bilbao are going to need a strong finish to the season if they’re to snatch a European place.

Celta de Vigo meanwhile also came into this campaign with European aspirations, having ended up eighth last time round.

However, O Celtiña slipped down to 12th last weekend following a last-gasp 1-0 defeat at RCDE Stadium against Espanyol.

So, Eduardo Coudet’s side have won just one of their last eight and look set for an unmemorable end to the season.

Will Athletic claim all three points at San Mamés?
