There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Athletic Club gaffer Alex de Souza to contend with from an otherwise complete group. Philipe Sampaio (muscular problems) won’t play.

We believe that Avaí will surely be able to get a goal against this Athletic Club side, although it probably won’t be as many as they’ll concede.
We think that it’s going to be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Athletic Club at the end of this one. It should be a decent one.
