They have a chance to… Cup Atletico and Bilbao

Lampros Balafas is making a play with two options at 1.95 and 3.25 for today.

It's time for the semi-finals in the Spanish Cup. Yesterday, in the match against Mallorca and Sociedad, the two teams were tied 0-0. Today, Atletico Madrid and Bilbao can offer more.

First, let's emphasize the great chance of winning the cup, as Real Madrid and Barcelona have been left out.

Atletico stood on Sunday at the Bernabéu, equalizing in stoppage time, a classic Simeone team, fought back and were vindicated in the final. At home they are strong, as Valverde emphasized this element, which appears prominently in the matches of these two teams at the “Metropolitano” stadium, where the “Rojiblancos” achieved 8 wins and two draws in the last 10 matches in which they welcomed the Basques.

Bilbao is playing their best this year in many years, the cup is always their interest and they will give everything, they want to go with a good chance in the second leg in front of their warm crowd.

Feyenoord takes advantage of Pavlidis' absence

An interesting duo in the Dutch Cup as well, as Feyenoord hosts AZ Alkmaar, in the quarter-finals, in one match. They also played on Sunday in Alkmaar, and Feyenoord won 1-0, but because of the loss of the league title, the weight falls on the cup, in an excellent perspective, because they are the team that eliminated PSV Eindhoven, the first team. In the Netherlands this season.

Alkmaar is not feeling well, today they will be without the services of their top scorer, Vangelis Pavlidis, who is suspended.
