Athletic Bilbao take on Mallorca in the final match of Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Saturday, April 6th at Estadio de La Cartuja (Sevilla).
Athletic, historically regarded as a Spanish football giant, have maintained a consistent presence in La Liga. However, recent trophies have been sparse, with only the Super Cup under Marcelino's brief tenure. Despite Ernesto's return, which was initially met with enthusiasm due to his prior success, last season resulted in an eighth-place finish and a semifinal exit from the cup, both times falling slightly short against Osasuna. Currently, they are locked in a fierce battle for the fourth, Champions League spot. However, Real Madrid's recent 2-0 victory in 'El Clasico' has pushed their old rivals down to fifth. Additionally, in the cup, Murvia's charges defeated Barcelona in extra time and twice overcame Atletico in the semifinals.

Mallorca could replicate their greatest historical success. Betis are remembered for their stellar performances in the early 2000s when led by Eto'o on the field and coached by Cooper, they secured third place in La Liga, reached the final of the Copa del Rey, and tested their mettle in the Champions League. They also made several Copa del Rey finals, winning the trophy in 2003. However, their performance declined, and the club became relegated even to the third division. It seemed destined to drop again in spring 2022, but Agirre arrived and successfully saved the near-hopeless outsider. Last season, they climbed to ninth place. While a similar feat seems unlikely now, they still have a comfortable lead over the relegation zone. A draw with Valencia added to their points tally. In the cup, they eliminated Girona and Real Sociedad, although the latter required a penalty shootout.
Recently, in February, Bilbao won 4-0. However, prior encounters often ended in draws. Nominal visitors are not favored. Let's agree and bet that Valverde's charges will win in regular time.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win.
