Granada – Athletic Bilbao, Copa del Rey Prediction

In the first game Granada lost its logical and expected 0-1 match against Athletic. It was difficult for them to even reach the post of their opponent. However, in the last match, Granada played and scored 5 goals in 3 games, not scoring only against Celta a few days ago with the clear thought of the rematch with Bilbao. As a host Granada is a very strong team, and in the league the team is in the middle of the table and there is no chance of anything, so this is the match of the season for them.

Bilbao should have won the first game by a bigger goal difference and had the opportunity to do so, but failed and missed a lot of chances. It will be very difficult now, as Granada are far from doomed in the match. Certainly, the guests will approach with caution and defensive tactics, and if they hold 0-0 for a longer period they will probably not try to score but defend themselves.

 Expert view : Generally, these are two of the more defensive teams in the league, especially with Bilbao, so we expect nothing but a few goals, few risks, few chances and maybe a lot of cards and rough play. This is a match that alps achieve the right result, you can go to the final and take the cup. For information only, Granada have never won this cup, so this will unlock phenomenal delirium in the hearts of fans if it happens. Bilbao have traditions in this tournament as they are second in the standings for a team with most cups(23) after Barcelona. Yes, Athletic have more than Real Madrid (19). Prediction – Under 2.5 goals at 1.60.

6 of the last 8 games between Granada and Athletic have finished with under 2.5 goals
