Athletico Bilbao at home to Rayo Vallecano

     Another defeat to start 2013 at Levante last weekend has left Athletic Bilbao struggling in 14th place in the Primera Division table, but despite their problems this season midfielder Ander Iturraspe has called on the crowd at San Mames to have more confidence in the side. Athletic host Rayo Vallecano on Friday night and Iturraspe believes an anxious crowd can only help to aggravate the team's current difficulties. He told Marca: "It is difficult for the fans to be calm, but they need to have confidence because we deserve it. We feel this confidence and together we can improve. Rayo play well, they are brave and a very good team, but I think they are inferior to us and we need to demonstrate this on the pitch."
