Can Athletic Club Bilbao reignite their European aspirations?
On Tuesday night, the Lions’ top seven hopes suffered a real setback as they were beaten 1-0 at Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes by Granada.
The goal coming about as a result of some calamitous defending from the visitors.
Before this, Marcelino’s men had built up some form, beating Cádiz and Atlético Madrid before a goalless draw against Valencia.
So now, to have any chances of sneaking into seventh, Athletic must win their final two games; they travel to Sevilla on the final day.
This game is far from a home banker with Osasuna travelling north just one place and five points worse off than their hosts.
Los Rojillos have now had three successive 1-1 draws, more recently held by Getafe at El Sadar on Wednesday night.
Oier Sanjurjo opened the scoring early on in Pamplona, only for a Lucas Torró own goal ensured the points were shared.
Nevertheless, having only lost one of their last six, Jagoba Arrasate’s side are ninth, on course for Osasuna’s highest finish in a decade.
Will Athletic claim three vital points at San Mamés?

With Yeray Álvarez and Unai Núñez both injured, Dani Vivian will continue alongside Iñigo Martínez at centre-back.
At right-back, they’re even more short of options due to the injuries sustained by Óscar de Marcos and Ander Capa.
Iñigo Lekue started there on Tuesday, but Álex Petxa could come in.
Iñaki Williams came off the bench against Granada, maintaining his record of having featured in 229 successive La Liga matches.
This time, he’ll lead the attack with Raúl García his likely partner; Álex Berenguer and Asier Villalibre will drop out.
