Eldense Team News
Eldense was part of the fourth tier of Spanish football last year and was promoted at the end of the season. They are currently having a good season in the third division. They are now in first place in the Second Group of the third division, although they have been playing erratically lately.
In the last round, they defeated Calahorra at 4:0. Before that, they drew 1:1 with Amorebieta, and lost 1:0 to Barcelona Atlético. In the King’s Cup, they were somewhat more consistent. They reached this stage after a 1:0 victory over Burgos and a 4:2 penalty shootout over Coux. Eldense has the best goal difference in their league, but that will hardly help them topple favored Bilbao. They will try to find their chances from the counterattack.
Athletic Bilbao Team News
Athletic Bilbao is in fifth place in La Liga, 13 points behind Barcelona, and has been playing very erratically for the last two months. However, this team must be taken seriously in the Copa del Rey, even if you are Barcelona or Real Madrid. They are in great shape. They suffered their last defeat on November 4 against Girona 2:1. From then until today, they played eight games, of which they won seven and drew one.
Cup, league, and friendly games during the break are counted here. The Athletico team showed that they not only wanted to win the Cup but also to survive in the race for the Champions League. In 15 games, they scored 24 goals and conceded 14. In the match against Eldense, they will undoubtedly want to score as much as possible to gain confidence before continuing both competitions.
