Bilbao Athletic visit La Planilla today (5 pm) to face Carlos Pouso’s Calahorra. The rojiblancos, the undisputed leaders of the group and with nine consecutive victories to their credit, will face this clash after ending Barakaldo’s long unbeaten streak. Gurpegi went into this appointment with some significant losses in his starting eleven.
Olabarrieta and Peio Canales are not part of the Bilbao squad due to their presence with the Spanish under-19 team in the qualifying phase for the category’s European Championship. Both, in fact, started yesterday against Cyprus in a match that ended in a 2-0 victory for Spain. The winger was replaced in the 83rd minute and the midfielder at half-time.
The red and white team, which for this new league event will also not have the help of Adu Ares and Unai Gómez, both in the first team dynamic under the orders of Valverde, also has the last minute loss of Gere, its captain.
Bilbao Athletic is the leader of group B of the Second RFEF with four points ahead of Tudelano and Utebo. Calahorra, for its part, started this twelfth round in tenth position, 15 points behind the Bilbao team.
