Prediction: 1-1
Athletic Bilbao
A spot in the Copa del Rey final will be at stake when Levante and Athletic Club face each other at Estadi Ciutat de Valencia on Thursday. Los Levantinos did well to hold the Basques to a 1-1 draw at Stadio San Mames, and, no doubt, they are going to adopt a defence-minded approach in the return leg. The two teams shared the spoils (1-1) in La Liga at the weekend as well, meaning that yet another close encounter is on the cards.
Defender Ruben Vezo returns from the La Liga ban for the hosts. The Lions welcome duo Dani Garcia – Unai Lopez back to the squad, and, as always, a man to watch in the away team will be Inaki Williams. Inigo Martinez could miss the game following his sending off in the La Liga encounter with Levante. Anyhow, share of spoils is on the cards at Estadi Ciutat de Valencia.
Highlighted Player (Coke):
Coke began his professional career at Rayo Vallecano, playing 180 games for the capital club between 2005 and 2011. The pacey full back joined Sevilla in June, 2011 and he made a right decision when he moved to the fellow La Liga side.
The Spanish footballer, who is capable of playing as both full back and a winger, won three UEFA Europa League trophies with los Sevillanos (2014, 2015, 2016) and he made it to the Spanish Cup final in the 2015/2016 season with the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan outfit. Sevilla, though, failed to make life difficult for Barcelona in the title game. After spending five years in Andalusia, Coke signed a three-year contract with Schalke on 31 July, 2016 for a fee of €5 million.
However, before the start of the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign he suffered a serious injury in a warm-up game against Bologna. Speaking of his international career, Coke has one cap for Spain U16, but he has yet to make his debut for the first team.
