Atletico Madrid will take on Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals at the San Mames Stadium on Thursday. Bilbao have a narrow 1-0 advantage from their first-leg win in which Alex Berenguer scored from the spot.
Diego Simeone's men are currently on a rough patch with just one win in their last five games. Their last outing was a 2-2 draw against Almeria and will want to return to winning ways by booking a place in the final of the Cup competition.
After a six-game unbeaten run, Bilbao suffered a defeat at the hands of Real Betis in their most recent outing. They will be hoping to make full use of their first-leg advantage to hold Atletico Madrid in the upcoming contest.
