Athletic Bilbao vs Levante

February 9, 2008

10/2- Athletic Club Bilbao is going through a rough phase and are placed at the 15th spot on the points table and after two losses in the last three matches and now they are just out of the relegation zone due to a better goal difference. Now, this week they get a golden opportunity in order to get back on track when they take on the last placed Levante. Levante have been struggling for most of the season and have been able to gain some momentum only in recent matches. The last time both the teams played was earlier this season when Athletic Bilbao visited Levante and they won 2-1, this win would give the home team an edge over the visitors. When the history between the two teams is seen it is evident that Athletic Bilbao are the dominant side as they have won 3 of the 5 matches played between the two sides in the past 15  years with one match ending in a draw.

Athletic Bilbao would be hoping that the home crowd would inspire the players to bring out the best performances so that the club can possibly avoid the threat of being relegated. Their last match against Real Zaragoza ended as a loss and they would like to recover from that with a full three points from the match against the weakest team playing at home. Adruiz is the best scoring option for the home side and is the leading goal scorer for the side this season with a total of 4 goals to his credit.

Levante on the other hand would try and collect as many points as possible from the matches in the top league as they can carry the confidence with them. Riga and Rigano are two players who have got themselves noticed from an otherwise non performing side and may get transfer offers from teams in the top flight.

Prediction: 2-0, Athletic Bilbao win
