Game Prediction
Wednesday this time will be a "cup" day in European football. However, a particularly significant confrontation between Atletico and Athletic stands out in the broad list. What are the visiting teams from the Basque Country capable of in the capital? The website audience is offered a prediction for the match on February 7, 2024.
Atletico is closest to success, especially in the Copa del Rey
The "Mattress Makers" rehabilitated themselves in 2023 for their failure in the previous UEFA Champions League cycle, finishing fourth in the group. Currently, they are leaders in their group, and this month, their duel against Inter will begin. There's also a tough battle for the customary finish in the top quartet of La Liga leaders, where the "Basques" have awakened, and Girona has become a surprise this season. Although "Cholo's Team" was eliminated in the Supercopa, losing in extra time to Real Madrid in the first round in Saudi Arabia, a week later, the Madrid derby in the Copa del Rey yielded a diametrically opposite result.
Athletic has noticeably improved this season
The "Basques" reunited with Ernesto Valverde in the summer of 2022. However, his first year back in Bilbao was not brilliant, with an eighth-place finish outside the European competition zone. Currently, there is a serious fight for a place in the top quartet of leaders. However, there have been setbacks, including after the winter break. In the cup, they have so far replicated the result from 2023 when the club from Bilbao lost to neighboring Osasuna. Now, they have eliminated Barcelona in the quarterfinals of "El Clasico." The match ended in a draw in regular time, but the Williams brothers scored in extra time at San Mamés.
Previous matches
In the last season, "Cholo's Team" won both matches with an identical score of 1-0. However, in December, the wards of Ernesto Valverde secured a convincing 2-0 victory.
