Athletic Bilbao vs Hertha BSC
Competition: UEFA Europa League
Date: November,23rd, 2017
Kick-off Time: 18:00 GMT
Venue: San Mames Barria, Bilbao

Athletic Bilbao has many problems on, and today in the UEFA Europa league virtually everything depends on this match and they have to look for a win over Hertha, while a draw might also be good, depending on the outcome of the second match. In the last round, Athletic defeated Ostersund in their field with 1-0, so the team is hoping to win again, but that is why there is less hope that they will win placement on European scene through championship.
Athletic Bilbao have not won for four rounds yet, but after three defeats, at least they did in the last round. Their rival was, Villarreal, and the fact that they were playing in Bilbao was not a big advantage for Athletic. The guests have been running for a long time, and Arrizabalaga has also defended the penalty, and then, as usual, the rescuer was, Aduriz. Players, Benat and Munia will be absent due to injuries, and Nunez is suspended.
Hertha BSC also has problems and is in an even worse situation, because they are even closer to the relegation zone in the championship, especially after the defeat in the previous round, but they also earlier had major problems. Hertha was already eliminated from the Cup, and similar thing awaits them in the UEFA Europa League. So to prevent this from happening, they need to defeat Athletic Bilbao in this duel. One big question is whether Hertha can do it in a period when their form is desperately bad, especially away.
San Mames Stadium is definitely not a stadium where it is easy to make a situation when they are already shaken by the home defeat of Borussia M'gladbach. Hertha have experienced the crush already in the first 20 minutes when they received even three goals and then in the end it was all just an attempt to avoid defeat to which they did succeeded to some extent. After the draw in Wolfsburg, players, Pekarik and Lazaro ended up on the bench, while Stark was not in the team because of injury injury. He will not be present, the suspended Ibisevic, and of the previously injured Stocker and Darida.

Probable lineups for this match of the UEFA Europa League:
Athletic Bilbao: Herrerin – Boveda, Etxeita, Laporte, Balenziaga – San Jose, Vesga – Williams, Raul Garcia, Cordoba – Aduriz
Probable lineups Hertha BSC: Jarstein – Pekarik, S.Langkamp, Rekik, Plattenhardt – Lustenberger, Meier – Weiser, Skjelbred, Kalou – Selke
