Match Facts:

R. Sporting (19th, 24 pts):

-Sporting are looking to put an end to a six-game winless run that has only produced three points. The home clash against Athletic is an opportunity to get back to winning ways.

-Castro has become a key player for Sporting, with four goals against FC Barcelona (1), Real Betis (1) and RCD Espanyol (2) in recent weeks. Although the 20-year-old failed to get on the scoresheet in mid-week, he will be hungry to add to his tally against the Basque side.

Athletic Club (7th, 41 pts):

-Los Rojiblancos are brimming with confidence after back-to-back wins over Valencia (3-0) and Deportivo (4-1).

- Goal machine Aritz Aduriz is in the form of his life. He netted a stunning hat-trick last time out against Deportivo, taking his tally for the season up to 17.
