Without making noise, the Athletic Bilbao naturally emerges from the favorites for a European coronation this season. The Basque club will be a team to monitor in this Europa League campaign, as well as Olympique Lyonnais or Manchester United. After eliminating the Roma of Claudio Ranieri in the previous round, the Athletic Bilbao is measured by the Glasgow Rangers, an opponent a priori within his reach on paper.
Carried by decisive men in the two surfaces (the guardian of Spain Unai Simon in the goals and the nugget Nico Williams in front), Bilbao will however have to be wary of a Scottish training always formidable in his lair. The first round in Glasgow promises to be perilous and can look like a trap, especially since the Rangers have won 4 of their last 6 games in all competitions.
The expected compos
Glasgow Rangers : Butland; Tavernier, Propper, Balogun; Sterling, Barron, Raskin, Jefte; Bajrami, Cerny; DESSERS.
Athletic Bilbao : Simon; Gorosabel, Paredes, Vivian, Boiro; Prados, Jauregizar; I. Williams, Sancet, N. Williams; Guruzeta.
