The action continues in round 33 of Spanish La Liga as Athletic Club and Las Palmas square off at the Estadio San Mames on Wednesday. Both sides head into the midweek clash off the back of contrasting results, with Las Palmas claiming a hard-earned victory over Atletico Madrid.
Athletic Club were left spitting feathers at the weekend as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid courtesy of a stoppage-time belter from Federico Valverde.
Before that, Ernesto Valverde’s men were on an eight-game unbeaten streak— claiming four wins and four draws — a run which has seen them reach the Europa League last-four following a 2-0 aggregate victory over Rangers in the quarter-finals.
Despite their slip-up against Real Madrid, Bilbao remain well on course to secure UEFA Champions League football as they sit fourth in the table, five points above fifth-placed Villarreal.

Las Palmas, on the other hand, picked up three huge points in their push for survival as they secured a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid at the Gran Canaria Stadium last Saturday.
Prior to that, Diego Martinez’s side picked up their first win of the year only on April 12, when they brushed aside Getafe 3-1 at the Coliseum Stadium to snap their 13-game winless run across all competitions.
Las Palmas have picked up 32 points from their 32 LaLiga matches so far to sit 17th in the league standings, just one point above the dreaded bottom three.
