Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe Preview: Spain Primera Division Jornada 37 2011/12

Estadio San Mamés — Bilbao

Team News
Athletic Bilbao 
 
Athletic's hopes of bringing Champions League football to San Mamés were mathematically ended by a 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid in midweek. 
 
And with Europa League football already assured due to their participation in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, Marcelo Bielsa is likely to prioritise giving his star names a rest over the three points on Saturday.
 
Iker Muniain pulled out of the Real game at the last minute with a muscle complaint and will almost certainly be left out, whilst Javi Martinez is suspended.
 
Ander Herrera and Ander Iturraspe both return from suspension but may also not be risked ahead of Bucharest and that should mean starts for the likes of Igor Gabilondo and David Lopez.
 
Probable lineups : Iraizoz, Aurtenetxe, Amorebieta, Ekiza, Iraola, Perez, Iturraspe, Gabilondo, Gomez, Lopez, Toquero. (4-2-3-1).

Getafe
 
Getafe's European hopes have been killed off thanks to a dreadful run of one point from three games against Granada, Mallorca and Racing Santander. Pedro León may also be given a start on his return from injury with Diego Castro dropping to the bench.
 
Defenders Rafa and Juan Valera also picked up bookings in the Racing game that will see them miss the trip to San Mamés so Miguel Torres should return in defence.
 
Probable lineups : Moya, Torres, Diaz, Alexis, Masilela, Michel, Lacen, Leon, Barrada, Gavilan, Miku. (4-2-3-1).

Prediction
This game has very much a drab end of season feel to it as both sides' form has dipped in recent weeks and are now locked in the group of teams separated by just a few points in mid-table.
 
Home advantage may just push Athletic on to victory as a number of players will be keen to make their mark, either for consideration in the two cup finals to come or even looking ahead to next season.
Athletic Bilbao  2 - 1  Getafe
