Athletic went into their meeting with Vallecas knowing that a victory against Rayo would allow them to jump into the Champions zone. Meanwhile, the locals are trying to get back on the winning track after accumulating two consecutive defeats. The meeting between the two teams will start at 6:30 pm under the arbitration of Melero López, of the Andalusian Committee, with Trujillo Suárez in VAR.
Iñigo Pérez faced this challenge with three changes to his starting eleven: Isi for De Frutos, Pathe Ciss for Gumbau and Embarba for the suspended Unai López. Lightning, in this way, builds up with Battle; Ratiu, Lejeune, Mumin, Pep Chavarría; Oscar Valentín, Pathé Ciss; Embarba, Isi, Álvaro García; and Nteka. Cardenas, Pedro Díaz, Aridane, TJP, Gumbau, James, Sergi Guardiola, Camello, De Frutos, Balliu, Pacha and Pelayo will sit on the local bench.
Valverde, for his part, starts Vallecas with six variations compared to last Thursday’s starting lineup in the Europa League: Agirrezabala for Unai Simón, Lekue for Gorosabel, Yeray for Vivian, Yuri for Adama, Jauregizar for to the suspended Prados and Berenguer for Sancet. The Bilbao team is forming with Agirrezabala; Lekue, Paredes, Yeray, Yuri; Jauregizar, Galarreta; Iñaki Williams, Berenguer, Nico Williams; and Guruzeta. The red and white squad is complete with Unai Simón, Gorosabel, Vivian, Sancet, Djaló, Nuñez, Jauregizar, De Marcos, Unai Gómez, Ander Herrera, Nico Serrano and Adama. Again it was Martón who was thrown.
