First round of the Cup derbi in San Mamés, and both teams ready to fight
The lions will face the one-way match with a little less pressure after winning the Levant in the League. The Whites, for their part, have not been defeated in the last ten encounters and are on an excellent streak.
Rivalry in a center in the last League derbi played in San Mamés.
San Mamés will host on Wednesday the one-way match of the semi-final of the King's Cup between Athletic and the Royal Society. EITB will broadcast live the one-way and return matches of the semifinal, as well as the final. The red-white team will arrive at the one-way match with renewed strength after winning the last two games. Likewise, the txuri urdin team is on a very good streak since the arrival of Pellegrino Matarazzo.
The lions face the competition with a little less pressure after winning the Levante, a match that confirmed the team's slight improvement in Mestalla four days earlier and, above all, gave three gold points to those of Ernesto Valverde when the situation in the League was already worrying for the billiards.
The goals of the Guruzeta and the improvement of the Williams brothers have opened up optimism in the Bilbao area. However, the big problem of the red-white team for this game, as has almost always happened this season, is thenumber ofdefenses da.
Valverde will not be able to count on Paredes, who will serve his second and final penalty match after the Leon referee showed the red card, and everything suggests that Dani Vivian and Yuri Berchiche will not be available.
The Royal Society, for its part,has not been defeated in thelast ten games , and since the arrival of coach ETA Matarazzo, the Blue White players have recovered.
It will be the third semi-final of the Cup that the Royal Society will play in a row and the twentieth in total for a team that has not played a final with the support of fans since 1988, so the White Blue fans are excited about the possibility of repeating the feat of the 2019-2020 season, when the Royal Society was champion of the Cup after defeating Athletic, but this time the final would be played with the full stands.
Matarazzo will have the casualties of Zakharyan, Sucic, Barrenetxea and Rupérez because they are all injured. The goalkeeper Unai Marrero has not finally entered the call either, although he has trained with the mask after being operated on in the face.
Marin (who played against San Mamés and Elche) and Sergio Gomez (with Aihen on the side) are the candidates, although the latter formula did not work in Mendizorroza in the quarterfinals.
Brais Méndez was expelled by the referee a week and a half ago in the League derbi, and as Sucic is injured he will be in the initial eleven, accompanied by Turrientes and Soler in the middle of the field.
Possible eleven:
Athletic: Padilla; Amitchell, Monreal, Laporte, Lekue; Ruiz de Galarreta, Jauregizar; Navarro, Guruzeta, Nico Williams and Iñaki Williams.
Real Sociedad: Remiro; Aramburu, Zubeldia, Jon Martín, Sergio Gómez; Turrientes, Soler, Brais Méndez, Marín; Guedes and Oyarzabal.
Referee: Murciano José María Sánchez Martínez.
Field: San Mamés.
Time: 21:00.
