ALL TO PLAY FOR IN BILBAO ......

SPAIN..... COPA DEL REY

ATHLETIC BILBAO- SEVILLA

These two know each pretty well, after the first leg of this semi-final and the league meeting at the weekend, both of which Sevilla won by a 2-1 scoreline. Hosts are incredibly motivated to win the cup this year and recent league results have slipped a little, probably due to the distraction of this game, however, I feel that we will see them at their best this evening. The match has been sold out for over a week and the atmosphere will be white hot, performances in a ten match unbeaten run over the holiday period were sensational and ignited dreams of a run at a top four place, but those have been put on hold for another season, but are certainly a possibility next year , for now, all their "eggs" are in this particular basket.

Athletic Club: Iraizoz, Toquero, Koikili, Amorebieta, David López, Llorente, Yeste, Gabilondo, Armando, Susaeta, Iraola, Orbaiz, Gurpegi, Aitor Ocio, Ion Vélez and Javi Martínez.

Sevilla FC: Palop, Javi Varas, Mosquera, Squillaci, Konko, David Prieto, Adriano, Fernando Navarro, Fazio, Romaric, Renato, Duscher, Jesús Navas, Acosta, Capel, Perotti, Kanouté and Luis Fabiano.

7 points Bilbao -1/4 ball 2.14 asian line.

Good Luck.
