Thursday 003 Copa del Rey Bilbao vs Barcelona
Bilbao:
Bilbao has a record of 6 wins, 10 draws and 5 defeats in 21 rounds of La Liga this season, accumulating 28 points, temporarily ranking 9th, and eliminating La Manchareal in the last round of the Copa del Rey. In the last Spanish Super Cup final, they lost 2-0 to the giants Real Madrid and missed the title. Although in La Liga has always been at the level of the middle team, but in the cup is a big shine, the strong team nemesis, last season successively eliminated Real Madrid, Barca, won the cup championship, the team played freely, the defense is stable, but the team's problem is still in the state of high and low. Bilbao have won four of their last ten games in all competitions, drawing four and losing four, three of which were lost to the powerful real madrid and one to Sevilla.
Barcelona:
La Liga powerhouse Barca have a record of 8 wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats in 20 rounds of La Liga this season, accumulating 32 points, temporarily ranking 6th, and eliminating Linarez in the last round of the Copa del Rey. Barca's form has been unstable since Messi's transfer, the strength of the front has declined significantly, and it is difficult for players to carry the banner. The team's performance in the first half was not satisfactory, the league has been in the middle of the table for a long time, the Champions League group stage is also no chance to qualify, after the coach Koeman was dismissed, Xavi took office, quickly helped the team get back on track, recently achieved a wave of 3 wins and 3 draws in various competitions unbeaten record, in the recent ten games also achieved a record of 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, the recent state is still stable.
Comprehensive analysis:
Both teams are stronger, with Barcelona playing more robustly this season, while Bilbao's tactical system is more assertive. But Bilbao seems to have the confidence to play against a strong team, not afraid of any strong team. In the recent ten matches between the two sides in history, Bilbao has achieved a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, and the psychology is not dominant, but this game is still more optimistic that Bilbao is expected to be unbeaten. Flat let flat.
Thursday 006 Premier League Cup Arsenal vs Liverpool
Arsenal:
Premier League giants Arsenal have a record of 11 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in 20 rounds, accumulating 35 points, and are currently ranked 5th in the league, 2 points behind the Champions League zone in 2 games. Arsenal are good at home, with a home league record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats this season, scoring a total of 18 goals and conceding 8 goals. After a brief loss at the beginning of the season, Arsenal began to slowly get on track in the middle of the league, and the current team's league ranking has also risen to 6th, seeing the hope of impacting the top four again, and the team's status is gradually improving. Arsenal have won 5, drawn 4 and lost 1 of their recent ten games in all competitions and are in acceptable form.
Liverpool:
Premier League giants Liverpool won 13 wins, drew 2 draws and 6 defeats in 21 rounds, accumulated 45 points, ranked second in the league, and trailed top Manchester City by 11 points in 1 game. Liverpool are less likely to hit the title this season, and the points with Manchester City are slowly opening up, and Liverpool are likely to put more energy into the competition for the cup in the second half, but the first thing the team needs now is to maintain the current top three of the home. Liverpool won 5-0 against the old powerhouse Manchester United in the ninth round, and it is worth mentioning that their team's offensive end is very strong and the defensive end is also quite stable.
From the perspective of this season's league, Liverpool's performance is much stronger than Arsenal, Arsenal still gives people a bit of a high and low taste, while Liverpool, the attacking end has never disappointed. It is important to note that Arsenal have drawn against Liverpool in their last three English League Cups, with Liverpool 0-0 away in the first leg of the League Cup this season. In the last ten historical meetings between the two sides, Arsenal have won 1, drawn 4 and lost 5, and there is no advantage in the confrontation, so I am personally optimistic that Liverpool can win. Master and negative.
