Athletic Club vs. Real Madrid Analysis
Athletic Club
It has been a historic run to this stage of the competition for Athletic Club this term, as they will be chasing a third appearance in the final. However, they are yet to win the competition, having fallen to Barcelona on their most recent appearance in a penalty shootout in 2014.
Their recent form would be a slight concern, as they have failed to win in two matches, and they have registered just one victory across their last three. But, they could end the season with a major piece of silverware, which would highlight excellent progression. But, it could be a tough ask for Bilbao, as they finished down in tenth in the Primera Division, eight places below their rivals this week.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid will be the clear favorites for those placing a bet on soccer this week, and it may be hard to overlook the team when making an Athletic Club vs Real Madrid prediction.
The Spanish giants finished second in the Primera Division standings, and were nine points better off than Levante. Meanwhile, they only suffered three defeats across 30 matches in the league season, and ended the campaign with four wins from five.
However, this will be a historic moment in the history of the women’s Real Madrid team, as they have never previously reached the final of the Copa de la Reina. That lack of experience could yet be a key factor, but there has been no evidence over recent weeks to suggest that they aren’t ready for this huge opportunity.
Athletic Club vs. Real Madrid Betting Pick and Prediction
The odds available make it challenging to find value in an Athletic Club vs Real Madrid prediction. Real boasts the better overall form coming into this fixture, and suffered just three defeats all season.
Meanwhile, they have claimed victories in each of their previous three matches against Athletic. Therefore, we find it hard to overlook Real reaching the final, and we could see them achieving that victory by a 3-0 scoreline. Our best bets would be for over 2.5 match goals, and Real Madrid.
Pick: Real Madrid (-600)
Pick: Over 2.5 Goals (-188)
