A 1-1 draw is predicted between Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao in their Copa del Rey semi-finals tie. Despite their recent encounters not resulting in draws, the intensity of the competition suggests a deadlock, especially after Athletic Bilbao’s 2-0 victory against ATM in their last La Liga game.
Prediction: Draw
For a second prediction, it is anticipated that there will be under 2.5 total goals scored. Previous statistics show that the last four consecutive games between these sides ended with under 2.5 total goals, indicating a high likelihood of a similar outcome when they meet on Wednesday night.
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
Atletico Madrid: As one of the favorites in the competition following the elimination of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ATM aims to secure a spot in the Copa del Rey final. With no losses in their last six games, they are determined to replicate their performance against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday.
Athletic Bilbao: Despite winning only two of their last four games, Bilbao faces a tough challenge when they visit the Wanda Metropolitan Stadium. While they advanced in the previous round via a penalty shootout, they understand the need for a stronger effort against ATM to progress further.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Atletico Madrid: Oblak, Hermoso, Witsel, Savic, Llorente, de Paul, Koke, Niguez, Riqueime, Morata, Griezmann.
Athletic Bilbao: Simon, de Marcos, Alvarez, Paredes, Berchiche, Prados, Sancet, Inaki Williams, Nico Williams, Guruzeta.
