Athletic Bilbao
The Basques started their journey with the 1/64 finals of the Spanish Cup. They went through a long and very difficult path to the final, as on the way to the final match, Athletic Bilbao defeated Barcelona in the quarter-finals 4:2 and Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals with a total score of 4:0. In La Liga, the Basques are also doing quite well, in fifth place in the standings and two points behind the UEFA Champions League zone. In total, in the previous five matches, Bilbao won three times, drew once and lost once.
Mallorca
They also started their performances in the Spanish Cup from the last 16 stage. Their path was not as difficult as Athletic Bilbao's. However, they were able to get past Girona (3:2) in the quarter-finals of the tournament and Real Sociedad in the 1/2 finals (2:1 overall). In the league, they are not showing such good results, as Mallorca is currently in 15th place with 31 points and is six points clear of the relegation zone. In total, in the last five matches, they won three times, drew once and lost once.
