I like the +350 odd on Bilbao to advance to semi-finals.
Tail at your own risk if you like it
The Copa del Rey is their favourite competition. I think they have 26 Cup trophies, 2nd total behind Barcelona (27 cups)
Let's face it, it will be a hard task as the odd suggest. Atletico has appetite to win every game, in every competition they take part, they have insane goalkeeping and good defense overall. But for some reason, with the co-leadership in Liga and the very good impression they are giving in Champions League, there is that accumulation of important games that might relax them a bit.
The basque team will have the advantage of receiving the 2nd leg and they are capable of everything at home.
Simeone, Atletico's coach, has mainly used 13 or 14 major players this season, despite having a good bench, and they begin to feel the fatigue. (losing the lead stupidly against Sevilla this WE is a good example... and also they should have lost against Valencia if not for the insane goal keeping)
Again, they will give a fight, they do at every game, and they have that special confidence the coach is giving them (best coach of 2013 hands down) but the context and Bilbao's appetite for Cup fixtures is a good spot for an upset.
Half unit kind of play at those odds and level of risk.
You might want to wait the 1st leg but I feel there is a possible win by 1 or even draw tonight so I'm playing it already.
