Prat vs Athletic Bilbao: Prediction & Preview

Prat face Athletic Bilbao in Round 128 of the 2026/2027 Copa del Rey on Thursday, 29 October 2026. Kick-off at the Estadi Municipal de Futbol de L'Hospitalet is at 20:00 UTC (16:00 ET), with Prat listed as the home side.

Prat arrive with a perfect record from two matches this season. Athletic Bilbao have played 10 games across all competitions, winning 3, drawing 4 and losing 3.

Prat's form reads WW, both wins coming in the Copa del Rey against Sant Rafel. They won 5-1 away on 27 September 2026 and followed that with a 5-0 home victory on 11 October 2026.

Athletic Bilbao's last five read WLDDD, all in La Liga. Three straight 0-0 draws against Deportivo Alavés at home, then Rayo Vallecano and Valencia away, were followed by a defeat away to Levante, recorded as 1-3. They bounced back on 25 October 2026 with a 4-0 home win over Getafe.

Prat have scored 10 goals and conceded just 1 in their two games, keeping 1 clean sheet. That attacking output has come entirely against Sant Rafel, so the step up in opposition here is considerable.

Athletic Bilbao have scored 12 and conceded 9 across their 10 matches in all competitions. Their defence has been the stronger suit, with 6 clean sheets, including three in their last five outings.

Hyper2Play's model gives Prat a 78% chance of winning, with the draw at 16% and an Athletic Bilbao win at 6%. The pick is Prat, rated with high confidence.

The model is based on points per game, goal difference, recent form and home advantage, and Prat's unbeaten start and goal tally weigh heavily in those measures. It is an estimate from our own model rather than a guarantee, and it does not account for the gap in level between the opponents each side has faced.
