Athletic still put their faith in a Basque-born squad which fights for the cause. Bilbao stay in 8th position after they drew 0-0 with Osasuna last weekend. They will try to get all three points against Mallorca on Sunday. Coach Caparros will look to get as much as he can out of his team in this season, as he did so successfully last year when they reached the Copa Del Rey final. There is real talent in Athletic’s squad and they are really strong at San Mames.

Safety has always been the main aim for the Islanders in the last years because Mallorca rebuild the team almost every season. A few important players like playmaker Arango and Jurado left the island club in the summer. But despite this they play very well and are in 4th place with 56 points . They won fourteen matches at ONO Estadi but their away form is not so impressive. Mallorca picked up only 13 points away from home.
There are valuable odds on Athletic’s victory...home win
