Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol

In the first match of the semifinals in the tournament for the Cup of the King Athletic Bilbao welcomes Espanyol.

One thing is for sure - you`d better not skip that match, because it is going to be pretty interesting! You can watch it on the TV or live stream, it is all up to you.

Athletic Bilbao
The team was routed 5:2 at home over the weekend by Barcelona at a meeting of the Spanish Championship, thus cut off a series of four matches without a loss. Athletic Bilbao is very wobbly from the start of the season and is in the bottom half of the table in La Liga. In front of its fans recorded only one win in the last six games of 'San Mames`. Due to a penalty, the duel will be missed by one of the main advocates of the team Ajmerik Laporte.

Espanyol
The team lost with the final result adviced by www.soccer-stats.org of 1:2 to Valencia at the weekend at a meeting of La Liga, as this was the third consecutive loss for the team. Espanyol has a very poor performance in his previous visits, having earned only two wins - one in La Liga and one in the tournament for the Cup of the King. With punishment for this meeting are two of the major proponents of the team - Alvaro Gonzalez and Victor Alvarez. And the question remains the participation was Abraham.
