Fenerbahce Visit Starts A Long Odyssey Away From Home For Bilbao
Athletic Club Bilbao: There's no place like home, but Athletic Club Bilbao travel to play Fenerbahce in Istanbul in the Europa League on Wednesday, knowing they might not play in their San Mames Stadium for a month and a half. Last season's Copa del Rey winner will make the Europa League visit to Istanbul after a 2-0 win at home to Villarreal that strengthened their grip on fourth place in La Liga while leaving it just six points off the top of the table.
The Basque outfit has won all five matches since the return from the last international break, beating Real Madrid 2-1 a week ago and going second in the Europa League qualifying group level on points with Lazio after four wins and a draw in the competition.
A win against Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce would just about ensure a top-eight finish for Athletic, although coach Ernesto Valverde will once again make some changes to his side as he works to keep his squad as fresh as possible in a crammed season, reports Xinhua.
