Preview and Prediction: Athletic Bilbao vs. Espanyol – prediction, team news, lineups
Athletic will be full of confidence after their Copa del Rey triumph over Real Madrid, and we are backing the Basque team to win here as well. De Tomas’ absence is a significant setback for Espanyol, who might lose by a single goal at San Mames on Monday night.
Athletic Bilbao possible starting lineup:
Simon; Lekue, Vivian, Martinez, Balenziaga; Berenguer, Zarraga, D Garcia, Muniain; R Garcia, I Williams
Espanyol possible starting lineup:
Diego Lopez; Gil, Gomez, Cabrera, Pedrosa; Embarba, Darder, Morlanes, Puado; Moron, Wu Lei
