Javi Martinez may be back in the lineup after not participating in the last league game due to suspension, whilst Fernando Llorente will hope to score the goals to overcome the current disadvantage.
The visitors also look in good shape entering the clash and will likely go with the same starting lineup as they did in the first leg. As usual, Felipe Caicedo will be the heart of the attack after scoring a crucial goal in the first leg.
Both clubs look set to be at full strength in a contest that could make or break their seasons as they look to continue on the road to the final in Romania.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
- Athletic Bilbao, who finished top of Group F, have never won the Europa League title, just like their opponents for Thursday.
- In the team's last seven games in league and cup play, they have scored 19 goals.
- Marcelo Bielsa's club have not lost at home since the end of November.
- Lokomotiv Moscow hold a 2-1 advantage in the tie after second half strikes from Denis Glushakov and Felipe Caicedo erased Iker Munain's opener for the Spaniards.
- The Russian team's last victory on the road was in early November, a 3-1 win at AEK Athens. The eastern European team have never won a game in Spain, losing four and drawing one.
- The winner of this tie will face either Ajax or Manchester United in the round of 16, with the English giants holding a 2-0 advantage.
In the friendly confines of San Mames, the hosts, with star Fernando Llorente leading the attack, should be able to create enough chances to find a couple goals and see off the visitors to advance.
