Athletic Club and Mallorca will go one-on-one at the Estadio de La Cartija on Saturday in a Copa del Rey final clash, with both sides looking to get silverware this season. The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Athletic Club are in a Fairly Good Run of Form Ahead of the Final
After three unbeaten matches in La Liga, Athletic Club’s run was ended away to leaders Real Madrid last time out, with Los Blancos winning the match 2-0 to bolster their title credentials.
In the lead-up to the loss to Barcelona, Athletic Club went four matches without defeat, winning four times and drawing once. The four matches were notable because Athletic Club kept clean sheets in all four.
Athletic Club’s focus will be on regaining its defensive solidity and attacking potency ahead of entertaining Mallorca in the final on Saturday.
Mallorca Are Unbeaten in their Last Two Matches Ahead of the Final
Last time out, Mallorca were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Valencia in La Liga. The draw marked a second unbeaten match in the league after they had defeated Granada 1-0 at home the previous week.
However, Mallorca have struggled this season; they currently sit 15th on the table with 31 points, six points above the relegation zone.
Although they are not in danger of relegation, they need to continue winning to ensure that they are not pulled into the relegation scrap.
Mallorca will look to regain some of their potency in the final third and solidity when they take on Athletic Club in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday.
