Last season Athletic failed to live up to the expectations of fans in the Super Bowl and the King’s Cup, where the team is traditionally considered a favorite. So, in the semi-finals of the second most important tournament, the Basque countries lost to Valencia, which they managed to take revenge in the new championship. After an unexpected eighth place in the La Liga tournament, the Red-Whites recorded a draw and two successful matches, in which, in addition to the Orange, they beat Cadiz on the road (4:0). All this eventually amounted to seven points and the fifth position in the standings. It should be noted that Bilbao has not conceded yet. Aguirrezabala, Williams, Bersic, Balenciaga and Martinez, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today.
Last season, Espanyol not without difficulty held its position in the elite championship, where the team recorded only 10 wins and 12 world victories in 38 stages, which corresponds to 42 points and 14th position. Failure overtook the team in the King’s Cup, where the “blue-whites” left the draw already in the second stage. The debut in the new championship for the “parrots” was peaceful, ending in a draw with Celta (2: 2), after which the Catalans failed twice, which led them to 16th place. Leconte, Gomez, Pedrosa, de Tomas and Lozano will not be able to play today. More today soccer fixtures and predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
