The home team won only two of the last eight games, it is unbalanced the adversary network two days ago and comes from another defeat. This time, he had a good performance, but left to wish, again, in the offensive sector. The attack of the Athletic one is being, in fact, one of the main responsible by the unsatisfactory performance of the equipment, since it did not manage to remove the zero of the marker in thirteen of the thirty and two parties disputed until then. One of the strengths of the club is the quality of the pass, although it lacks articulation to make the ball reach the attack more frequently. For this match, the coach will not be able to count on Sidcley, who received the third yellow card and must keep as a reference in the attacking sector forward Ribamar, responsible for the best chances of the team’s goal on the last day.
