Bilbao will host Vallecano tonight, which isn’t doing too well in Segunda lately. It will be interesting to see Joaqin Capparos’ players fighting to come back from a 2-goal deficit from the first leg in an attempt to qualify further. According to their squad, it’s clear nobody has given up on the Cup in Bilbao, so the hosts could field almost the best lineup. Besides, Bilbao will be having a great support at their San Mames stadium, which is always filled to the last spot and the singing can be heard for all 90 minutes.
Huge advantage from the first leg
Vallecano has recorded quite a good result in the first leg, when they defeated Bilbao reserves by 2:0 at home. Now they will have a lot tougher task as the hosts will field the best lineup. It should be noted their players aren’t doing too well. After that win over Bilbao, they got on a 2-game losing streak, which will make them be afraid before tonight’s match. It’s never easy to deal with pressure, and that will certainly be seen in their game tonight.
The hosts will win
Bilbao is undoubtedly the more quality side than their Vallecano guests. They used a mixed squad in the first leg and lost by 2:0, while tonight the situation should be a lot different. It’s unlikely to expect that very motivated Bilbao’s players don’t record a win at their San Mames, so that’s why I’ll back them for a bit higher stakes this time. For the braver ones, I’d also suggest you handicap bet on the hosts, which also seems quite nice.
