Spartak Moscow vs Athletic Bilbao Preview

Spartak Moscow return from their winter break early to host Bilbao in the first leg of this Europa League knockout stage clash. Spartak haven’t played a competitive match since December and it is to be seen whether they will return refreshed or sluggish. The home side are third in the Russian Premier League and boast the best home record with 23 points collected from a possible 30 and conceding just 8 goals in their 10 home games. Spartak manager Massimo Carrera will be looking for his side to continue this impressive home form and keep Bilbao from scoring any away goals in this first leg.

Jano Ananidze, Giorgi Jikia and Georgi Tigiev are all unavailable to feature due to injury but new signing Sofiane Hanni will be eligible to play following his January transfer from Anderlecht.

Athletic Bilbao have only lost one of their last eleven games. However, six of these were draws and they are struggling to finish teams off to secure wins. They are 13th in La Liga and on a comfortable 28 points, 10 points above the relegation zone. José Ángel Ziganda will be hoping for a good run in this competition as it is unlikely they will get pulled into a relegation battle and can put everything into these games.

Left-back Mikel Balenziaga and forward Iñaki Williams will both be unavailable for selection due to injury and new signing Íñigo Martínez is ineligible to play as he has featured in this competition already for his old club, Real Sociedad.

Spartak Moscow vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

Spartak Moscow came into their winter break in excellent form but it is unsure how they will return after over two months off. If they continue that form then they could give Bilbao a tough game as they are a side that have the ability to score goals and win games at home. Athletic Bilbao have proven tough to beat and have won their last 3 Europa League matches but haven’t been convincing on the road this season in La Liga.

This game could go either way which is why a draw is a safe bet. We expect a tight game with both sides managing to get on the scoresheet.
