Athletic Bilbao
Following a 2-0 win over Alzira in their Copa del Rey opener, Athletic Bilbao will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they face Sestao on Tuesday evening. The Lions aim to go all the way in their favourite tournament, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their 24th Spanish Cup trophy. Since Ernesto Valverde has a full squad to choose from, away win should be considered.
A man to watch in the visiting team will be Inaki Williams, who represented Ghana at the 2022 World Cup finals. Sestao, on the other hand, are fully focused on Segunda B Group 2 as they are eyeing promotion, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the Basques. When the two teams met in the Copa del Rey two years ago Athletic Club rolled over Sestao 4-0.
