Prediction for the Copa del Rey match between Logrones vs Athletic Bilbao, which will take place on January 4th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Back in December, Logrones played four matches in two tournaments. They won the Copa home game against Girona, drew with Subiza and Alfaro in the Segunda Division RFEF, and beat Real Sociedad. In the division standings, Logrones is in fourth place with 31 points after 17 rounds. They've got eight points less than Arsenal, the leading team. Logrones has the 3rd best home statistics in the division, +6=2-0, 15:3 goal difference.

After the November international break, Athletic played eight matches, winning 3:0 against Elfsborg in the Europa League and 2:0 against Fenerbahçe in the Europa League, as well as 1:0 against Real Sociedad, 2:1 against Real Madrid and 2:0 against Villarreal in La Liga. They also won 2:1 against Rayo and Osasuna away and drew 1:1 with Alaves. They haven't lost a game as visitors in 14 matches, which has helped them climb to fourth in the La Liga standings. Athletic has 36 points, seven behind leading Real Madrid, and the Basques' away statistics are fifth in the division (+4=3-2, 13:10 GD).

We suggest going with the favourite here, but don't forget that Athletic has a 13-match unbeaten streak. At the same time, Logrones has a very good defensive line, and the hosts haven't conceded a goal in their gates in the last five meetings. We think the Basques have a good shot at the round of 16, without needing extra time or a penalty shootout, but we doubt there'll be more than three goals. We wouldn't be surprised if the result was decided by one goal.
