Unexpectedly Valencia was able to draw with Athletic Bilbao especially in the 45th minute Valencia had to play with 10 players after Gomez got a red card. There is still a second leg for both Valencia and Athletic Bilbao to ensure a place to the final, but Valencia are more favored because the second leg they play as home. Bilbao Mamu took the lead through Raul Garcia in the 37th minute, but they failed to hold on to the win after Valencia had equalized in the 65th minute through Hugo Duro's goal.
With this result, I really think that the next match leg will be very interesting. They will do their best to defeat each other. they have the same chance to win and get a ticket to the final. 1 score will be really influence the next result. The drawn result previously makes the prediction for the result unpredictable enough.
Maybe some betters will think more carefully at this time.
But, maybe Athletic Bilbao still have more fans to win
Yes they finaly managed to win which was not easy today despite the 2 0 score the first half was really tough with this win they are 3 points away from real madrid and real will face villareal so there is a high possibility of them loosing points still i dont think sevilla will catch up to real madrid since their performance is poor lately.
Yes, the ga is decreasing again and again. I also believe that Sevilla can beat Elche, although it may not be easily done.
For the next match between Villarreal vs Real Madrid, actually, Real Madrid has a bigger chance to win. But, we cannot underestimate Villareal because this club is also getting better. Real Madrid must win if they want to make the point gap far again from Sevilla
