Match Facts
RCD Espanyol (15th, 32 pts):
- The Blanquiazules come into this one having claimed a 1-1 draw away to Granada CF last time out. The Andalusians opened the scoring through Ruben Rochina, but a Miguel Lopes own goal saw the game end all square.
- Victory here for Constantin Galca's men would see the Barcelona-based side increase the buffer between themselves and the relegation zone and would represent a massive step forward in their quest to seal top-flight survival.
Athletic Club (6th, 47 pts):
- The Leones will be in fine spirits after having knocked Valencia CF out of the Europa League in their midweek round-of-16 clash. What's more, Ernesto Valverde's side come into the game having picked up maximum points in each of their last four Liga BBVA outings.
- At 35, Aritz Aduriz is enjoying one of the best seasons in his career, with the veteran striker's 17 league goals earning him a recall to the Spanish national team.
