THE PREDICTION

The home team come into this on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat away to Real Murcia in the league prior to the Christmas winter break. They did manage an impressive and surprise 1-0 victory over Granada in the cup, though. They now come up against an Athletic side that have reached the last two Copa del Rey finals. The Basque side have been strong in cup competitions and an away win, under successful cup coach in general terms Marcelino, looks likely.
