Game Preview
At home, Gorka Guruzeta ranked fourth in La Liga with 8 goals and Athletic Bilbao take on UD Las Palmas, a team with a solid defensive record with only 14 goals allowed. Wednesday is when the game is played.
Five years after leaving the first division of Spanish soccer, Las Palmas is enjoying an incredible season. Despite being held to a stalemate by Cadiz at home on Sunday, they have only dropped one of their last seven competition games. The Canaries’ secret is to be the antithesis of Athletic. With 17 games played, the islanders have given up 14 goals, which is second-best in the Primera División only to Real Madrid’s (11). They have only managed to score fifteen goals, though, which is less than any of the three relegation-threatened teams combined. With 25 points, Las Palmas and Getafe are tied for ninth place and five points below European spots. Sergi Cardona, the defenseman, has returned from suspension; Fabio Gonzalez and Jonathan Viera are both sidelined due to injury.
Athletic is blazing. They are undefeated since mid-October against FC Barcelona, and they just defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 in one of their greatest games of the season. Los Leones is by far the side with the most goals scored at home in La Liga, 24 in 9 games, having netted at least two goals in each of their last eight games at San Mamés. Athletic trails Atletico Madrid by two points in fifth place with 32 points, but the colchoneros still need to make up for their postponed match against Sevilla. Ernesto Valverde is unlikely to bring in any changes to the squad that defeated los Rojiblancos over the weekend, barring any new injury concerns. The Lions are considered as strong favorites to defeat La Union Deportiva at San Mames as they aim for a victory at home for the fourth consecutive time.
