Athletic Bilbao will host Villarreal in the last round of Primera Division. The standings are pretty complicated, but i will do my best to explain. So, the final of the Copa del Rey will feature Barcelona against Bilbao. If Barcelona wins it, outcome that seems very likely, then the team placed #7th in La Liga (currently Bilbao) will get the last Europa League spot. If Bilbao will will the cup, than of course Bilbao will qualify for Europa League, but only the 5 and 6th placed teams will get EL spots.
Athletic Bilbao must win this game. They could do with a draw or a loss, but they must hope Malaga does not win, at home, vs Sevilla. The Andalusians have a tough game, so the basque outfit might be satisfied with a draw, in the end.

However, a draw will be considered a poor result considering the long list of missing players for the Yellow Submarine, who will field a very weakened lineup. They will miss Vietto, Uche, Gio dos Santos, Cheryshev, Jonathan dos Santos, Eric Bailly and Mussachio. Bilbao will only have to do without Muniain, long term injury. Important player, but not essential. The only essential player for Bilbao is Aduriz. Another thing that will boost the good atmosphere is that Valverde has extended his contract for yet another season. He is a very good coach…
I will take an unusual bet here, -0.25 asian handicap at half time and here are my 2 reasons for this. Firstly, Bilbao has a better record at HT than they do at Full Time, in their home matches. Secondly, they might go to the locker room, turn on their radios and find out that Sevilla is leading in Malaga, so they will relax.
Bilbao -0.25 asian handicap at half time is my prediction, odds 1.95 @ Sbobet.
Pick: Athletic Bilbao (-0,25 Asian Handicap) @ half time
