Athletic Bilbao vs Atletico Madrid Prediction: The Lions will be closer to victory

Prediction for the Copa del Rey match which will take place on February 29. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After winning the first semi-final against Atletico, the Basques played three games in La Liga, drawing with Almeria, beating Girona, and losing 1:3 to Betis in Seville. In the standings of the Spanish championship, Athletic is in fifth place and concedes three points to its future opponent, Atletico. Recall that Atletico is in the Champions League competition. Atletico's home statistics are third in the division, +10=2-1, 34:14 goal difference. It should be noted that the Basques have the best home performance in the division.

After the defeat from Atletico Madrid, they played four matches in two tournaments; in this period, the capital team had two defeats, a draw, and a 5:0 defeat to Las Palmas. Atletico are 4th in the league, and it is already clear that Madrid will not win the title, at least not to lose their position in the Champions League competition. In the Champions League, they lost to Inter in the first match 0:1. There are chances for the quarter-finals, but they are not so great, given the experience and strength of the current Milanese. That is, the Spanish Cup comes to the forefront for Madrid, especially since they will definitely play Mallorca in the final, which is by no means the strongest team in Spain. But in order to play in the decisive match of the second most important tournament of Spanish football, Madrid need only victory in Bilbao.

Despite the result of the first match between our teams, we are on the side of Atletico in the upcoming game; we believe that the more skilled and experienced team will be able to bring a positive result from Bilbao in this situation. As for the total, we do not expect a very effective match; we will not be surprised if the upcoming game ends, like the first meeting, with a score of 1:0 in favor of the guests, and in this case, we will wait for extra time.
