Prat and Athletic Club have never met in this competition before, but the context of a Copa Del Rey tie has put this pairing under scrutiny since before kick-off, because the two teams are at different league levels and have never faced each other in a competitive match. Prat go into the game with confidence after going unbeaten in 5 straight matches, and in this competition they have just thrashed their opponents 5-1. Athletic Club, although they come from a higher league, have had inconsistent recent form, with both big wins and defeats in the league, and their defence is not especially solid when they travel away. This game is likely to start with Prat sitting in a defensive block and waiting for counter-attacking chances, while Athletic Club will mainly dominate the ball and attack. But with the away side's quality being several levels above, the game could end in a fairly comfortable victory, though it will be worth watching how Prat cope with the early pressure.
