On January 20, the match of the 1/8 finals of the Spanish Cup will take place, in which the Basque Athletic will play at home with the Catalan Barcelona. The forecast for this match is given by the famous Match TV commentator Konstantin Genich.
Both teams played in the final four for the Spanish Super Cup, and the Basques even managed to reach the final match, where they lost to Real Madrid (0:2). Barcelona lost to the same Real Madrid (2:3) in the semifinals, but only in extra time, while showing probably the best game under Javi Hernandez.
The Catalans are approaching the match in Bilbao with personnel problems – Luc de Jong and Depay will not play, but Fati has recovered, and Ferran Torren can already play. Therefore, the "blue-garnet", which should be fresher than the opponent, are able to create something interesting ahead and try to score. In the championship, Barcelona is unlikely to catch on to anything serious, so you can bet on the Cup.
At the same time, the game in the defense of Barcelona under Xavi also cannot be called reliable, therefore, most likely, according to Konstantin Genich, in this meeting the most correct bet is on the exchange of goals.
