Command Analysis
Athletic Bilbao
SpainCurrent form
For Athletic, the current Europa League draw is of particular importance, as the final is scheduled to be held in Bilbao at the club's home arena. The Basques are eager to compete for the trophy this year. At the general stage, they finished in second place and won a ticket to the 1/8 finals without any problems. Ernesto Valverde's team had a difficult opponent at this stage, Roma. The determining factor was the home field. The Basques were defeated 1-2 on the road, but they won 3-1 in their own arena.
Athletic had excellent chances to create a comfortable handicap in Glasgow in the first game of the quarter-finals. The Scots remained with ten men in the 13th minute. In the future, the Basques had a total advantage, scored 19 shots on goal, and missed a penalty. The ball stubbornly refused to fly into the Rangers' net. A 0-0 draw is, of course, a good result on the road, but based on the scenario of the game, the players and the coaching staff were clearly upset by this outcome.
After leaving for Glasgow, Athletic played a home match in the Primera against Rayo Vallecano, where they easily beat the outsider with a score of 3:1. In the standings, Ernesto Valverde's team is firmly in fourth place with a six-point lead over Villarreal. It is unlikely to be possible to compete for the top three, since the gap from Atletico Madrid is the same six points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bercice will miss the second leg due to injury. The appearance of I. Williams on the field is questionable today.

The Rangers barely made it into the top eight at the general stage of the Europa League. In the final round, the Scots beat the Belgian Union (2:1), took the eighth place, only in terms of additional indicators they were ahead of three competitors at once.
At the 1/8 finals stage, the Rangers had Fenerbahce as their rivals. They made a serious bid in Turkey, when they unexpectedly defeated Jose Mourinho's players with a score of 3:1. They failed to maintain the advantage at home – they lost 0:2. Only in the penalty shootout the team passed the representative of the Turkish Super League.
It is not the first season that the Rangers have been unable to compete with Celtic in the Scottish championship. After 33 rounds, the Celts are 15 points ahead of Barry Ferguson's men – as such, there has been no intrigue for a long time. Moreover, Jersey are ahead of Hibernian in third place by 13 points. In the last round of the home championship, the Rangers broke up with Aberdeen on the road (2:2).

2.65Athletic'sbetwon't lose by fouls

2.29Tip and bets
The Rangers avoided defeat at home with a stranger, the opponent had a huge advantage. Of course, the early elimination of the Scots had an effect in that game, but today in Bilbao, even with equal squads, it will be difficult. Athletic are always dangerous on their own field, the same Roma managed to get through in the previous round largely due to a home victory. Taking into account all the tournaments, the Basques at San Mames have not lost in eight previous matches in a row, and during this time they have won five times, all with an advantage of at least two goals. We are also waiting for a convincing victory of the hosts today.
Our prediction is that Athletics will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) for a coefficient of 2.08
Bet on the total
Too productive a game is hardly worth waiting for. The Rangers didn't show anything offensively in the first game, and Athletic alone is unlikely to score more than three goals. Moreover, the semi-finals of the Europa League are at stake, and obviously the Basques will not seek to smash the opponent at any cost: they will gain a comfortable advantage and try to keep it, which they usually do well.
The second bet is a total of less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.78
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
Athletic have scored their last two wins on home turf with a two-goal advantage. We expect the Basques to make a comfortable victory in a similar style today, but they still look more organized along all lines, and the home field factor will play an important role.
Prediction – Athletic will win with a two-goal advantage with a coefficient of 4.20
