Live on Skysports 1: Fri 21.00: In the Copa del Rey, Barcelona are 8/1 (Ladbrokes) to inflict another 3-0 defeat upon Athletic Bilbao.
Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona suffered Champions League and La Liga heartbreak and the manager will be desparate to bow out with a win in the Copa del Rey, despite a late draw with Betis in the season’s conclusion.
The Catalans are just 1/3 with Stan James to win in 90 minutes while Bilbao, also smarting after a solid defeat in the Europa League, are 9/1 outsiders with BetVictor.
It’s hard to see beyond a Barcelona win in 90 minutes and with Bilbao failing to score for 5 straight games, Paddy Power’s 6/4 on a win to nil for Guardiola holds lots of appeal.
In the handicaps, Coral are 5/6 for a Barcelona win by two or more while Sportingbet go 2/1 for a comprehensive win of three or more goals. In the correct score market, Ladbrokes are 8/1 about a 3-0 win for Barca, which would be a 4th such defeat for Bilbao in 5 outings.
