ATHLETICO BILBAO
Athletic Bilbao followed up their Copa del Rey win over third-tier outfit Atletico Mancha Real by claiming just a point in La Liga, as they played out a goalless draw with Alaves on Sunday. A frustrating result for head coach Marcelino means his side are now sitting four points behind the European places having played a game more than their rivals above them.
The four-team format has greatly benefitted current holders and LL European hopefuls Athletic as they seek to win a second consecutive Supercopa despite only qualifying as CDR runners-up in the prior season.
Given the marked improvement in Athletic’s fortunes then, Marcelino will hope his men can channel the spirit of the side that raced into a 2-0 half-time lead against Real Madrid in last season’s semi-final before holding out to win 2-1.
ATLETICO MADRID
Similarly to Athletic Club, Atletico Madrid also cruised to a 5-0 victory over second-tier side Rayo Majadahonda in the Copa del Rey last week, but were forced to settle for just a point in La Liga when they played out a 2-2 away at Villarreal on Sunday.
While Atlético are well off the pace in terms of the title race, manager Diego Simeone will be hoping he can etch the capital club’s name into Supercopa de España history here as the third side to win the tournament since the introduction of the four-team format.
Encouragingly, Simeone’s imperious 87% unbeaten rate in H2H clashes with Athletic inspires hope of reaching a second Supercopa final at the third attempt (W16, D4, L3).

Our Athletic Club vs. Atletico Madrid betting tip
If Athletic Bilbao’s form this season is anything to go by, expect the first leg of this semi-final tie to be more like a chess match than throw up some free-flowing football. And we are expecting a cagey first Half game resulting into a halftime draw.
Secondly, this kind of matches are always likely to feature fewer goals as both sides will be keeping things tight at their backlines. As a result, we anticipate Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.54 with Cyberbet. Check out our Over/Under bet example if you’re not quite sure about this betting strategy yet.
