Athletic Bilbao vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
Thursday evening from 20:30, in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, Athletic Bilbao will play at home against Atletico Madrid. The round match was played two weeks ago, and then Athletic Bilbao won 1-0 thanks to the goal scored by Alex Berenguer in the 25th minute. The two teams also met in the championship round match, where Bilbao also won with 2-0. The team that will qualify further will meet in the Copa del Rey final in Mallorca, the team that produced the surprise in the semifinals and eliminated Real Sociedad.
Athletic Bilbao:
Athletic Bilbao is in 5th place in LaLiga and has only three points to recover from the 4th place which is occupied by the rival they are going to face, Atletico Madrid. In the last match played in the championship, Athletic Bilbao lost an important match, 3-1 away on the field of Betis and thus missed the opportunity to equalize with Atletico Madrid, the team with which they are fighting for the last place of UEFA Champions League. At home, Athletic Bilbao lost only one match this season in the championship, having ten wins and two draws. In the next match, Athletic Bilbao will also play at home, against Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid:
On the other hand, as we said above, Atletico Madrid is in 4th place in the ranking and is fighting to stay in this place to play next season in the UEFA Champions League groups. In the most recent match, Atletico Madrid finished with a draw, score 1-1, the match played away, on the field of Almeria and missed two very important points in this fight for the top places. As the chances of winning the title are slim, the only hope of winning a trophy this season remains the Copa del Rey, but they need to return the score from the round match and of course then beat Mallorca in the final. In the next match, Atletico Madrid will play at home with Betis.
