Athletic from Bilbao and Betis face on the 30th day of LaLiga Santander, in the new San Mamés stadium. Both teams have had an irregular trajectory during the championship, so they have been able to climb to the European positions, although the people of Bilbao still have that door open thanks to the Copa del Rey, since they have the final against Real Sociedad.
He Betis de Rubi has not reaped the results that the green and white parish expected. It has a great squad, with players of proven quality such as Borja Iglesias, Canales, Joaquín, Nabil Fekir or Andrés Guardado, but he has not been able to find the key so that all of them get the maximum performance. Currently, the Sevillian team occupies the fourteenth place with just 34 points. At this point, it is utopian to think practically of a European square, so the Betis focus on each match and play the best role possible.
For his part, the Athletic de Bilbao de Gaizka Garitano has been characterized by its solidity, but the lack of talent and goal scoring has hampered its path in the League. The people of Bilbao currently occupy the tenth place in the classification, with 39 points. They come from a draw in the Basque derby with Eibar, at the Ipurúa stadium, 2-2. It is possible that they will have the Cup final against their Basque rivals, but their coach will surely influence that the optimal way to prepare for the final is to do the best league role possible.
The first leg was decided in favor of Betis, 3-2, at the Benito Villamarín stadium. A brilliant hat-trick by Joaquín gave the Verdiblancos a great advantage, which later saw their wide advantage reduced, but it was enough to take all three points.
