The UEFA Europa League action will continue on Thursday night as Athletic Bilbao takes on Rangers in the second leg of their quarter-final tie at San Mames, Bilbao, Spain. Here’s our preview, head-to-head, key stats, and predictions for this intriguing encounter.

Athletic Bilbao vs Rangers Preview

Athletic Bilbao recorded a goalless draw in three consecutive games but ended the embarrassing streak with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano in their last outing in the Spanish La Liga. Given that their previous Europa League match against Rangers ended in a goalless draw, we expect Athletic to beat the Scottish team in the second leg of their quarter-final tie in Spain.

It’s been a struggle for Rangers, having recorded two straight draws in their last two games after a 2-0 loss to Hibernian in their domestic league. Notwithstanding, Barry Ferguson’s side fought well with ten men in their previous match against Athletic, but their chances of winning the game or qualifying the round is very slim.
