Logrones vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction and Betting Tips | 4th January 2025

Athletic Bilbao visit Las Gaunas on Saturday to face Logrones in the round of 32 of the 2024-25 Copa Del Rey season. Los Leones come into the fixture unbeaten in their last 14 games in all competitions since Girona beat them 2-1 in La Liga on 6 October 2024.

During this run, they've picked up four consecutive wins in the Europa League, and a 2-1 defeat of reigning Spanish champions Real Madrid in the league.

Although the Basque Country outfit are overwhelming favorites to prevail here, they are likely to field a weakened side in this match. Bilbao are up against Barcelona just three days later in the semi-finals of the Spanish Supercup and will need all their key players in top shape for such a vital game.

Meanwhile, the Logroñés will be aiming to pull off another scalp after seeing off Girona in the last round of the cup. The sides played out a 0-0 draw from open play but the former prevailed 4-3 on penalties, with Abel Ruiz and Christian Stuani missing their spot-kicks for the Barcelona outfit.
