Athletic de Bilbao and Leganés meet on the 37th round of LaLiga Santander, which corresponds to the penultimate round of the championship. Both teams have a lot to play for, since the people of Bilbao can still access a Europa League place, while the pepineros have earned options to save themselves in these last two games.
Athletic comes from defeating Levante in La Nucía (1-2), thanks to a double by Raúl García. The rojiblanco team had fallen in their two games at home, against Real Madrid (0-1) and Sevilla (1-2), so this reaction has been very necessary. Athletic Bilbao has 51 points and is three from Real Sociedad and Getafe (54), who are ahead and occupy the places that will fight for the Europa League in these last two days.
Leganés, meanwhile, has won in their own right to fight to the end for permanence. The team trained by Javier Aguirre has achieved eight points from the last twelve at stake and comes to this appointment with 32 points, tied to Real Mallorca. They have beaten Valencia (1-0) and Espanyol (0-1) and tied with Granada and Eibar (both 0-0). Of course, salvation is four points, in the figure of Alavés (36 units), with which they will have to make the machado to win almost certainly these last two games.
In the first leg, played at the Butarque stadium, both teams tied for one goal, thanks to goals from Óscar Rodríguez and Raúl García.
