This final for Europe that takes place in San Mamés continues here.
Athletic Club de Bilbao and Real Betis Balompié, ranked seventh and sixth, burn several of their last ships in San Mamés to play in European competition next season. Both result from adding only one of the last six points in the game, and they are aware that they must nip this losing streak in the bud immediately if they are to achieve their goal.
The duel will also be partly dedicated to the absentees what lions and verdiblancos deal with: Iñigo Martínez, Munian and Yeray among the locals; while the visitors will not be defenders Víctor Ruiz, Luiz Felipe and Édgar. These casualties join Nabil Fékir on Manuel Pellegrini’s list and that Joaquín can also swell if the tension in his knee is eventually severe enough to prevent him from jumping onto the pitch.
