Copa del Rey match preview: Mirandes - Athletic Bilbao

Written by: paulciciovan Published: 31-01 11:52:37

Giant killers

The hosts are only the second third tier side to reach the Copa del Rey semi-finals and will almost certainly qualify for Europe should they reach the final. They made a reputation of giant killers this therm, having already knocked out three Primera sides in the Copa so far, Villarreal, Santander and Espanyol, the last one in dramatic fashion, with a 90th minute goal to send them through on away goals. They comfortably lead Group 2 of Segunda B by six points, despite the fact that they have been defeated on last round, having rested their players in preparation for this game.

Warning against complacency

23 times winners of the Copa del Rey and 12 times runners-up, Bilbao has a golden opportunity to reach the finals for the first time since 2008-09 season. Athletic`s biggest problem could be the complacency, but having already eliminated lower opposition (Oviedo and Albacete) in the earlier rounds, the guests should remain focused. Muniain, Ander and Javi Martínez were all rested in the 3-2 win at Rayo Vallecano, but should return to the starting 11, as well as De Marcos, who returns from suspension.

Goals

I think we can expect an entertaining game and some goals here. Mirandés have scored in every home Copa game this season and have the Cup`s top scorer, Pablo Infante (7 goals), while Bilbao`s coach, Bielsa, is always offensive-minded and the guests boast a great puncher, Llorente, who just scored a hatttrick at Rayo Vallecano.
