Athletic Bilbao – Barcelona – 17.04.2021 – Prediction

It is time for the Spanish Copa Del Rey Final! Athletic Bilbao against Barcelona! The Brave Basques against the Catalonians! The final is set to be played at a neutral location – Estadio de La Cartuja in Sevilla. The official kick-off is 20:30 GMT 0.

1 Lost Final Already

Athletic Bilbao has already lost one Copa Del Rey Final in April. A few weeks ago, Bilbao was beaten 0-1 by Real Sociedad in a tough game deprived of many opportunities. Tonight, the boys of Marcelino will be determined not to repeat their mistakes from the previous final and will fight for every inch on the pitch. Unfortunately, Yeray Alvarez and Yuri Berchiche cannot take part in the game.

Barcelona is Determined to Lift the Title

After the unconvincing start of the season, Barcelona managed to stabilize their performances and currently the team has brilliant chances to lift the Copa Del Rey title. Moreover, the battle for LaLiga has not been lost yet. Barcelona was not been outplayed by Real Madrid in El Clasico. Most of the injured players have already returned to the squad and the condition of the squad looks optimal and solid.

Final Thoughts

Usually, there are not many goals when finals are played. Perhaps, Barcelona is the favourite for winning this game but it is far easier to bet on UNDER 3.00. Bilbao has a solid defence and it is unlikely to see them conceding more than 2 goals. On the other side, it will be difficult for them to score more than once to the 3-men defensive line of the Catalonians.
