Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa del Rey
by Steve Ashfield | in Football Predictions
The 2020 Copa del Rey final is here, one whole year later and Athletic Bilbao have a chance to win two Kings Cup titles in a span of two weeks. Bilbao, who also advanced to the 2021 final, will be taking on Real Sociedad in what was supposed to be the 2020 final but was moved to this weekend due to the coronavirus pandemic. Both sides are not in the best of shape as they head to this game; Bilbao coming from a three match winless run and Sociedad off back to back losses. Athletic Bilbao head to this game with three wins in their last 10 matches and only two clean sheets and six wins in their last 15 matches. They have just one loss in the last 13 Copa del Rey matches but haven’t kept a clean sheet in the competition in their last six matches. Heading to this clash they will hope for better performance against Sociedad, having managed just one win in the last seven meetings.
Ahead of this clash in Seville, Real Sociedad are coming from a 6-1 loss to Barcelona and before that they had fallen 1-0 to Granada. This competition presents Sociedad’s best chance to win silverware after their elimination from the Europa league by Manchester United. However, with just five wins in their last 15 matches, it already seems like a tough task and their defensive form isn’t also sending the right message. In the last four matches, Sociedad have conceded eight goals and scored just three. Though ranked the underdogs in this clash, Sociedad have a good run against Bilbao, having won four of the last five meetings and will be counting on that. They have just one loss in 12 Copa del Rey matches and have scored in each of the last 10 Copa del Rey matches, netting two or more in eight.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Both these sides have struggled in their recent matches and heading here, they both want to shake that off. It is hard to pick an outright favorite here with both sides carrying fine runs in this competition. The last six meetings between these two sides have not returned a draw but here, with the game at a neutral venue, a winner being found through penalties looks likely.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
