La Liga, Spain

In the next fixture of La Liga, Athletic Bilbao is locking horns with Las Palmas on their home turf at 1:30 AM (IST) on February 9th.

Las Palmas TEAM NEWS:

• Matias Aguirregaray and Etebo should get starts once again after impressing on their respective debuts.

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

Athletic’s long unbeaten run came to an end last weekend against Girona, with Ziganda’s tactics coming under question once again in a very disappointing performance. Los Leones, however, last lost at home in La Liga back in October to Barcelona. Since then, they have gone five matches without defeat and have kept three clean sheets. Las Palmas have won two of their last three games in the Spanish top flight, but both victories came at home. They have won one of their last 29 La Liga away fixtures.
