Formentera and Athletic Bilbao play in the Municipal Stadium, in a match of the Copa del Rey (16 round of 32). These two teams have never played before, so this will be their first direct confrontation. In this match the house factor may play an important role, since Formentera presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.
The home team arrives at this stage of the Copa del Rey (round of 16) after having played previous qualifiers with: UD Logroñés and Tarazona.

In 12 games, he only managed 1 turn in the scoring in the 5 games in which he suffered the first goal.
Formentera enters this match after a 1-1 home draw at the Hercules reception. It is possible that we observe the home team preferring the right side to attack, taking advantage of the depth offered by right-back Fobi. Despite being a team that likes to play in his midfield, he can also get out very easily for the counterattack. The home team are expected to play in a traditional 4-3-3, where the three most advanced pieces will be Riera, Sánchez and Alvarez. Coach Tito should have all the players at his disposal.

It is worth mentioning that in the defensive moment, Athletic Bilbao proves to be a very aggressive team, giving little space to his opponent. Coach Ziganda will not be able to count on Muniain, Óscar de Marcos and Álvarez for being injured.
