Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca Preview

The stakes are huge on Saturday night, so I expect both sides to put some additional focus on defending, especially early on. Both Mallorca and Athletic Bilbao kept a lot of clean sheets recently, so under 2.5 goals is the best bet.

Athletic Bilbao Form

Athletic Bilbao are having one hell of a run in this season’s Copa del Rey, bringing two top-tier teams on their way to the finals.

The Basque side kicked things off with victories against Eibar 3-0 and Alaves 2-0, before eliminating Barcelona 4-2 in extra-time.

Ernesto Valverde’s side cruised past Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals, winning both ties, 4-0 on aggregate, Gorka Guruzeta, Nico Williams, Inaki Williams and Alex Berenguer hitting the target.

They are also doing great in the Spanish La Liga, sitting in 5th position with 56 points from 30 matches, just two points short of an UCL spot.

Mallorca’s Copa del Rey journey started early this season, beating lower-division sides Boiro 4-0, Valle Egues 3-0 and Burgos 3-0. The first serious test was seen against Tenerife, winning 1-0 in extra-time Cyle Larin scoring a late winner.

Los Bermellones were also victorious in the quarterfinals against Girona 3-2, and then eliminated Real Sociedad after a penalty shootout (1-1 on aggregate) to secure their spot in the grand finals.

Mallorca’s recent form in La Liga has been solid, grabbing four points from their last two matches against Granada 1-0 and Valencia 0-0.

Verdict

Athletic Bilbao v Mallorca

Both Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca allowed just two goals in their last five games. I expect to see a tight tussle in Sevilla on Saturday and match to end with less than three goals. Under 1.5 is value.
