Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona Prediction: Expecting the TU Trend to Continue

Prediction for the Copa del Rey match between Athletic vs Barcelona, which will take place on January 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Athletic lost away to Valencia in the last round of La Liga and gave their place in the Champions League zone to Atletico. Before that, the Basques were undefeated in 14 consecutive matches, knocking out Eibar and Alaves of the Copa. In the Spanish championship, Athletic is in fifth place with 41 points, the same as Atletico, but Madrid has the best secondary stats. Atletico's home statistics are fourth in the league, +8=2-1, 27:12 goal difference. De Marcos will not help the Basques in Wednesday's match, while the participation of Vesga and Garcia is questionable.

The Catalans have Alonso, Gavi, Martinez, and ter Stegen injured, while Rafinha might not participate. After the defeat of Real Madrid in the final of the Supercopa, Barcelona beat Unionistas in the Copa. In La Liga, they won over Betis in Seville 4:2. In the LL standings, Barcelona is in third place with 44 points, 8 points behind Girona. Barelona's away statistics are third in LL, +5=5-0, 19:13 goal difference.

Atletico has one of the best defenses in Spain. The Basques have rarely conceded recently, and the two last H2H matches ended in a draw. We believe the TU trend will continue. As for the result, we wouldn't be surprised if the game ends in a draw after regulation time and the teams have to play extra time.
