Saragozza vs Ath. BilbaoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

No standings apply here, with the tie sitting inside a knockout bracket. Zaragoza strung together three straight wins before this date, 2-0 at Villarreal II, 2-1 at UD Logroñés and 2-1 against Real Sociedad II, each of them closed with at least two goals of their own. The two outings before that went the other way, a 0-1 against FC Andorra and a 1-2 against Barbastro. Athletic Club have alternated: two losses, 0-1 with Atalanta and 1-3 at Marseille, then a pair of 3-0 wins over Burgos and Racing Santander and a 2-2 with Eibar. The head-to-head record goes back more than a decade, to the 2-1 the Basques took in Zaragoza in May 2013. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
