Prediction: 1-1
Real Sociedad
There will be fireworks when Athletic Club and Real Sociedad face each other in the postponed Copa del Rey final. The Lions are on a three-game winless run ahead of the Basque derby, but it is well known that they have always been producing their best displays in the Spanish Cup games. Peru Nolaskoain, who has been tested positive for coronavirus, should be the only absentee in Marcelino’s team.
La Real, on the other hand, are eyeing their third Copa del Rey trophy. Imanol Alguacil’s men have been having their ups and downs of late, but they are surely capable of matching the fellow Basque outfit at Estadio de La Cartuja. A close encounter is on the cards in the decider, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. The likes of Monreal, Guridi, Elustondo, Zaldua, Pacheco, Sola, and Sangalli are all likely to miss the game for the nominal visitors.
Highlighted Player (Iker Muniain):
Iker Muniain was once considered one of the most talented players in Spain, but he obviously failed to reach his full potential. Munian is an attacking midfielder, who is capable of playing as a forward as well and he began his youth career at Chantrea. In 2005 he made probably the best decision of his career as he joined Athletic Bilbao youth academy.
He made his debut for Athletic Bilbao on 30 July, 2009 in a 1-0 loss to Young Boys in the Europa League. Iker Munian impressed in the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign with the Lions, scoring nine goals in all competitions, but he failed to make a bigger progress. The Athletic Bilbao product has been struggling with injuries and it has to be noted that the injury he suffered against Sevilla on 4 April, 2015 could have ruined his career.
However, he returned to action on 20 December, but he was playing below expectations in the second half of the season. Iker Munian made his Spain debut on 29 February, 2012 in a friendly against Venezuela. La Roja won the match 5-0 and Munian came as a substitute in the 74th minute of the match.
