Athletic Bilbao arrives registering 5 draws in their last 8 Liga Santander matches (2 wins and 1 loss), a dynamic in which they have mainly drawn at home (1-1 vs Eibar / 1-1 vs Villarreal / 1-1 vs Valencia) and away (0-0 vs Celta / 1-1 vs Levante), but in which they have also beaten Granada (2-1) and Cádiz (0-4), and in which they have only been defeated by Atlético Madrid (2-1). In this case, it comes from having lost the final of the last Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad (0-1).

As a visitor, Athletic Bilbao has not managed to win in 11 of its last 12 games (5 draws and 6 defeats), results that force it to try to win on this day by being 11 points away from the European positions (Betis, 5th / Villarreal, 6th). Therefore, if he does not win this duel, his European options via the League would be practically ruled out, setting everything up for the final of this Copa del Rey that will be played against Barcelona in 2 weeks. As for the line-up, Athletic Bilbao will have the loss of Oier Zarraga [meniscus surgery].
