This is a big match for both the teams. Not only it gives the winner a chance to move into the top 10 on the table, but whatever little the danger of dropping down into the relegation battle is there, it can be alleviated with 3 points.

Athletic Bilbao have had a pretty poor 2018-19 season. But the problem was already there last season as they finished at a lowly 16th in the league. Eduardo Berizzo was sacked following just one win in the first 14 games of the new season, which left the club in the bottom three.

But there are signs of improvement under new boss Gaizka Garitano. Bilbao have won six times in the last 12 league games, easing the fear of relegation to some degrees. The next target for them should be to break into the top half of the table.

Espanyol, on the other hand, are near the level of last season. They have accumulated 33 points from 26 games and should reach the tally of 49 points of last season.

However, to match that record, they must improve on the road. Coming into this match, the Budgerigars are the 2nd worst team in away matches this season, winning just once in 13 matches.

While Bilbao’s resurgence is down to their impressive home form in recent weeks. Not only they drew 0-0 versus the mighty Barcelona 3 weeks ago, but are unbeaten at San Mames Stadium since October 6th.
