by Stephen Abiola in Europa League Picks
Athletic Club and Rangers will go head-to-head in an exciting Europa League matchup on Thursday night at Estadio de San Memes. Athletic Bilbao will enter this matchup with an advantage after forcing a 0-0 tie last week in Scotland. They were the better side throughout the night and were unlucky to leave the Ibrox Stadium without a win. The Spanish heavyweights had 72% ball possession while making 532 passes.
They also had 19 shots compared to their opponents' 4 shots. In fact, they limited the Scottish side to zero shots on target in front of their fans. However, Bilbao's coach, Valverde, will be disappointed after his side recorded only four shots on target. He will likely urge his strikers to be more clinical in front of the goal and get an early lead in this matchup. Bilbao will enter this clash as the warm -286 betting favorites.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Rangers Prediction
This has a big Bilbao win written all over it. Rangers FC did not record even a single shot on target in the first leg, so nothing can convince us they'll be better in this return matchup. They have now gone three matches without a win while scoring only two goals in those games.
Bilbao has also been under pressure to score goals lately. They went on a four-game goal drought before finding the back of the net against Rayo Vallecano last weekend. A 2-0 win for Bilbao is a more realistic outcome. Our prediction for Athletic Bilbao vs Rangers: Under 2.5 goals.
