Athletic Bilbao vs Levante Match Preview
Joaquin Caparros' Athletic must their place in the European fight against Luis Garcia's Levante, one of the most effective squads in the second half of the Spanish First Division.San Mames' Cathedral hosts one of the most exciting games of the week. Eight points separate Levante from Athletic on the table standings, and a victory can even let the Granotes dream with a place in Europe.
Athletic wasted a perfect opportunity last week in Cornella-El-Prat, falling 2-1 against Espanyol. Levante failed to defeat Sporting back home, and needs the three points as Barcelona, Valencia and Zaragoza wait for Luis Garcia's boys in the last three remaining games.
Joaquin Caparros introduces two modifications to his scheme, determined to boost the Basque attack to secure a positive result. Mikel San José and Ibai Gómez return to the starting squad, taking over Markel Susaeta's and Ustaritz Aldekoaotalora's place. Athletic's top scorer Fernando Llorente returns to the starting eleven, fully fit after missing the last clash due to physical discomfort.
Levante needs a victory to boost their morale for the next three vital clashes. A six-pointer for the top fight, who'll triumph?
