THE PREDICTION
If Huesca avoid defeat at home to Valencia then Elche will need to beat Athletic in order to stay up. They come into this on the back of an impressive second-half performance at Cadiz where they came back from a 1-0 deficit at half-time and won 3-1. They come up against an Athletic side that are slightly fading after an impressive start to Marcelino’s tenure in the second-half of this season. The Basque side went down 1-0 at home to title challenging Real Madrid as they look ahead to what could be an exciting season next year. Given that the Athletic might not necessarily be very motivated for this, an Elche win could be the favoured result.
