Huge favorites the hosts for me here.

Athletic Club is a classic team in this tournament. They reached the finals several times and are always making good performances and playing the final stages. The team has a great feeling with this tournament.

For this match they aren’t in their best form, due to some bad results in La Liga, but their performances have been good. They are still playing well, dominating rivals and putting a lot of pressure on them. They are just unlucky in front of goal, but I believe that sooner or later will score goals again.

They dont have any injury, and their next game is on Sunday, so coach Valverde can put the stronger lineup if he wants. Surely will be a mixed squad, but undoubtedly competitive and strong.

On the other hand, Espanyol is 100% focused in the league. Coach Diego Martines suggested in a press conference that they can’t play at 100% this game because it will affect their next game on Saturday against Betis. Espanyol is just one point above relegation so can’t lose any energy in a tournament which is zero important for them.

They have been playing with reserves in the previous rounds, where they struggled to beat an amateur team (Atletico Paso - 0:1) and won Celta in the Extra-Time after a red card and undeservedly, because they were outplayed.

Coach Diego confirmed rotations, and confirmed that Braithwaite won’t play here. Surely won’t plñay either key striker (and 2nd topscorer in the league with 10 goals) - Joselu and key midfielder Darder. These three players are 90% of the team, because are the best ones and the only ones able to make something “different”.

Athletic is a very strong home team and will be pretty motivated here. On the other hand, Espanyol has been terrible this season so far and will be with zero motivation here, as they are 100% focused on avoiding relegation. Guests will use a very poor lineup and Athletic will dominate the game. All of this added to their quality plus the weak Espanyol’s defense should be enough to see a home win.

我非常喜欢这里的主持人。

运动俱乐部是本届杯赛的一支经典球队。他们几次进入决赛，总是表现出色，并在最后阶段出场。球队对这次比赛的感觉很好。

在这场比赛中，由于在西甲的一些糟糕的成绩，他们并没有处于最佳状态，但他们的表现很好。他们仍然踢得很好，统治着对手，给他们施加了很大的压力。他们只是在门前运气不好，但我相信他们迟早会再次进球的。

他们没有任何伤病，他们的下一场比赛是在周日，所以如果教练巴尔韦德想要的话，他可以放更强的阵容。当然，这将是一个混合阵容，但毫无疑问，竞争和强大。

另一方面，西班牙人队100%专注于联赛。主教练迭戈·马丁内斯在新闻发布会上表示，本场比赛他们不能100%发挥，因为这将影响周六对阵贝蒂斯的比赛。西班牙人只比保级高出一分，所以不能在对他们来说毫无意义的比赛中失去任何能量。

在前几轮比赛中，他们一直在使用预备队，在比赛中他们艰难地击败了一支业余球队(帕索竞技- 0:1)，并在加时赛中赢得了塞尔塔，尽管他们吃了一张红牌。

主教练迭戈确认了轮换，并确认布雷斯韦特不会在这里比赛。当然不会plñay任何一个关键前锋(10球排名联赛第二射手)——约瑟卢和关键中场达德尔。这三名玩家占了整个团队的90%，因为他们是最优秀的，也是唯一能够创造出“与众不同”内容的人。

竞技是一支非常强大的主场球队，他们在这里会很有动力。另一方面，西班牙人本赛季到目前为止表现很糟糕，他们在这里没有任何动力，因为他们100%专注于保级。客人将使用一个非常糟糕的阵容和竞技将主导比赛。所有这些都增加了他们的实力，再加上西班牙人薄弱的防守，应该足以在主场取胜。
