There’s not a lot happening inthe world of football day but there are a couple of cup games across Europe.
In Spain they’re at the semi-final stage of the Copa Del Rey where Athletic Bilbao hold a 1-0 first leg advantage over Atletico Madrid. Both are vying for a place in the final against Real Mallorca.
Atletico Madrid don’t have a great record in the competition, winning it just ten times but Bilbao have a proud association with the trophy as 23-time winners, most recently in 2021. Home advantage and that one-goal lead means they’re just 1/5 to get the job done tonight while Atleti are 10/3 to turn things around.
In the 90 minutes the bookies are leaning towards Athletic Bilbao who are 7/5 to win and given their love affair with the Copa Del Rey that might not be the worst bet on a quiet night.
In the Coupe de France fourth tier side Le Puy Foot 43 Auvergne host Ligue 1’s Rennes who are in good form domestically where they’re unbeaten in 11. A 3-2 win over AC Milan last week wasn’t enough to keep their European adventure alive but they’re well fancied at 2/11 to book a semi-final slot with their hosts at 12/1.
