That Bilbao Athletic’s relegation to the Second RFEF was reduced to a simple matter of time, it was intuited for a few days, seeing the senseless responsiveness shown by the team led by Álex Pallarés. What is less clear is that the rojiblanco subsidiary could drop out of the category with five days to go before the end of the championship, something that would cause further damage in an additional way. Relegation may, therefore, not be the only task that Athletic’s second team is doing in this period of sad memories.
Everything depends on a series of carambolas that take place in the matches that Bilbao Athletic, La Nucía and Intercity must face, from the beginning. The last two teams are tied on points and mark the boundary with relegation from above and below. The first of them is currently in sixteenth place, where he will fall from the end of the League today, and the second in fifteenth, where he will eliminate the defeat in the category of being in the final today.
The distance between both clubs and Bilbao Athletic is currently 13 points with 18 more to play. If the boys fall on Saturday when they visit Real Unión, they will retain the 25 points that currently appear in their locker with 15 to play. If La Nucía or Intercity, for their part, emerge victorious in their respective promises, they will go from their current 38 points to 41, where the Pallarés team, according to these two rivals, will be sentenced.
It may also be the case that both tie and Bilbao Athletic, despite losing in Irún, are not relegated (25 points against the hypothetical 39 for La Nucía and Intercity). If so, Basconia could play in the promotion playoff, although a win would not do them any good if the Pallarés team were eventually relegated.
another double case
There may also be another case that delays the loss of Bilbao Athletic’s category and allows Basconia to play for promotion without La Nucía or Intercity coming in for it. Even assuming both won their respective promises and the rojiblanco subsidiary lost their visit to the Irundarra fiefdom, we will have to wait and see what Cornellà and Sabadell will do. These two sets now add up to 39 points. If their respective commitments are lost the next day and the puppies still fall, the difference between one and the other will be 14 points with 15 to play for.
Basconia, who on Saturday will finish their League in fourth place no matter what, will have to be aware of what Bilbao Athletic and other rivals are doing which could prolong or prevent the relegation of the puppies in this moment.
