The leader of the group, and Portuguese team could seal
their qualification with victory in the field of the 'Lions', which the
'dragons' exceeded two weeks ago at Dragao 2-1.
Bottom side of the group, four points behind second place
and six of the first, does not arise Athletic anything but winning all three
games he has left to change course to a group that now Porto and Shakhtar
Donetsk are clear favorites to go through.
Although a draw would still leave you with a remote
option, the truth is that if you do not win tomorrow, and does so more than one
goal difference, Athletic would be at the expense of their rivals in the last
two days and no longer depend on other same.
However, this new visit rival that opened 58 years ago
European official competition matches at San Mames, take them to Ernesto
Valverde at its best season since removed in August to Naples to get into this
phase Groups of the Champions League.
Two wins by the minimum and allowing itself to zero net
have slowed the bad run of nine games without a win, three in Europe, and have
driven the Bilbao team in the table of the Premier League, where it is already
in quieter positions after having been up in the relegation zone.
Those two wins have elevated him to a Athletic esteem
that had very low after their last defeat, precisely at Dragao two weeks ago,
and on Sunday reined in his new 'Cathedral' to packed Sevilla Bilbao sought out
leader.
The striker is key and the custodian of most of the
red-white powder, and has scored eight of the fifteen goals in leading his team
so far this year and three of the six European.
However, the only goal is presumed that his replacement
at the point of attack, Guillermo Fernandez, arrived in Oporto, where the young
squad still somewhat tender completed in the second half of his best minutes in
the elite.
Porto, meanwhile, is aware that a victory in the Bilbao
feud can guarantee a spot in the next round if Shakhtar Donetsk win at BATE
Borisov, so motivation Lopetegui man is sure.
