Athletic Club vs Real Sociedad prediction and preview 

Athletic Club and Real Sociedad, the two Basque heavyweights, will face off in the much delayed Copa del Rey 2020 final. Bilbao have had a fantastic season this year and have already lifted silverware by defeating Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup and will look to add to the celebrations this weekend. Athletic Club have lost only of their last eight games across all competitions and will be favourites to lift the title. However, Bilbao settled for a solitary point against Eibar last time out, and will hope to put that result behind them and clinch bragging rights in the Basque region. 

On the other hand, Real Sociedad's early promise this year came tumbling down as the season progressed, and they weathered a poor run of form before returning to winning ways in February. Unlike their opponents, Sociedad have only one shot at glory, and will be keen to seize the chance on Sunday. La Real have only won two of their last six games across all competitions and will have their backs against the wall in this one.
