Command Analysis

Athletic Bilbao

Athletic had a strong start to the current edition of Copa del Rey - 24-time holder of the trophy easily beat Mancha (2:0) and then pull off an upset against Barcelona (3:2 a.e.t.), after that Real Madrid (1:0) also fell to Bilbao club, Basques took revenge for a defeat in the Super Cup final.

Bilbao are not as successful in La Liga, it seems like they are less motivated for the league matches, so their results there are not so impressive. In 23 rounds The Red-Whites recorded eight victories and 10 draws, delivering 34 points and an 8th spot in the standings. In two latest rounds Marcelino's players beat Rayo Vallecano (1:0) and Espanyol (2:1).

Vencedor, Williams are unavailable for the match.

Valencia

Six-time champion of Spain is still in the process of building the new stadium and a new team. In the current season team is looking great in some matches, but inconsistency remains the main problem of the club. After 23 rounds of the current season The Oranges have seven victories and nine draws, delivering 30 points and an 11th spot in the standings.

In five most recent matches Valencia suffered a drop of form and picked up only two points from draws against Sevilla (1:1) and Real Sociedad (0:0). On their way to the Copa del Rey semifinals The Bats rolled past Arenteiro, Cartagena, Baleares and Cadiz (2:1).
