Two of the Spanish teams that will be hoping to end the campaign in a European spot will lock horns this weekend. There will be pressure on Athletic Bilbao to land maximum points after failing to win in their previous two.
La Liga Preview
The intense race for a finish in the European positions continues this weekend, as Athletic Bilbao travel to Las Palmas. Both sides will come into this round looking to get back into form, with the hosts having failed to win in their previous three. However, each of their last two matches have ended in draws, meaning that they remain in eighth spot.
Bilbao will also have a desperate need to get back into form this weekend, as they have dropped to five points behind Atletico Madrid in the race for a Champions League spot this term. They have failed to win in their last two matches in the league, while they have recorded just one win across their last four in the competition.
Las Palmas will take inspiration from their home record at this stage of the season, as they have suffered just three defeats in their last 13 matches. Over that period, they have recorded six wins. Meanwhile, the home side this weekend has scored at least once in each of their previous eight matches in front of their own fans.
Bilbao have already picked up 50 points from their opening 27 matches this term, which their most at this stage of the campaign since 2013-14. It could be a good omen that this was the last season in which they finished in the Champions League positions in La Liga.

Las Palmas have recorded just two wins in their last ten matches against Bilbao in the league. Meanwhile, they have failed to score in the previous two. The visitors landed a success in the reverse fixture this term, meaning that they can achieve a league double over their rivals for the sixth time.

Las Palmas have shown excellent quality in home matches throughout the season, and they have avoided defeat in their last six home fixtures against Bilbao. For that reason, we could see the draw being an interesting betting angle when these sides collide on Sunday.
