Two teams with very similar realities face each other in La Liga. The eighth against the ninth of the standings, the two fighting to reach qualifying positions for the international cups, and without any chance of fighting to win La Liga. The only chance that both have of being champions this season is this Copa del Rey 2021/2022.
In this sense, those who have shown a better level have been Athletic Club, since in the previous rounds they eliminated two candidates like Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, playing in San Mames for the first leg of these semi-finals they got a 1-1 that does not guarantee them anything, and that is why, as locals in this second leg, it is Valencia who have a slight advantage.
