Athletic Bilbao won the last match by 4-0.

Preview –

Athletic Bilbao showed why they were one of the most successful club of Spanish history and specially in Super Copa and Copa Del ray, they should be feared more than Barcelona or Real Madrid. The first leg of the finale was held at their home and thy just hammered Barcelona in that match. They won it by a huge 4-0 and showed they are not just underdogs. They have the capability to win. We will still keep them as the underdogs in this match despite the performance they showed on their last match.

The first reason Barcelona is the favorite despite loosing the first leg by a huge 4-0 is because they are the home team in this match. As the home team, they will have the edge and Barcelona is remarkable at their home field. They are also the better team of the two in the papers. Although that didn’t do them any good in their last match but they are simply better with better players and they should get a dominant win in this match.

Prediction –

We predict that Barcelona will win this match by 3-1. However, as we have already seen, anything can happen in the field of football.
