In the previous season Athletic failed to claim the Spanish Super Cup, losing in the final. The Lions also failed to achieve success in the Spanish Cup, where they are always among the favourites. Team easily went past the first rounds, but suffered a defeat to Valencia in the semi-final.

We think that both teams will try to put up a cautious performance on defense, but Basques will probably have to play without their main goalkeepers. Nonetheless, we are not expecting a sensation, the outcome will be decided by one or two goals.
