Prat vs Athletic Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 29 October 2026
🔊 AE Prat are back in the main draw of the Copa del Rey for the first time in 10 years, and they have been handed one of the most decorated clubs in the country. To host Athletic Bilbao, the Catalans had to change venue - their usual ground, Sanyé, does not meet the tournament's requirements. The Basques are preparing for a derby against Real Sociedad, so Edin Terzić will almost certainly give his fringe players a run-out. For the hosts, it is a chance to cause an upset; for the visitors, it is an opportunity to test their squad depth ahead of a crucial league fixture.
First meeting between the sides
❌ These two sides have never met in an official match before.
AE Prat: the attack has hit top gear
AE Prat's most recent home match ended in a 2-2 draw with Sabadell B. They went into half-time trailing 1-0 but came from behind to take the lead. They had 63% possession during the match and outshot their opponents on target, 5 to 3.
AE Prat have made a confident start to the season in the Catalan Liga Elit, winning two and drawing two of their opening four matches. They have scored 8 goals and conceded just 3, remaining unbeaten. Their Copa del Rey campaign has been even more impressive, with the Catalans putting 10 goals past San Rafael across two matches. The attack has been functioning well, but now AE Prat face defenders of a completely different level.

Athletic Bilbao: a win to end a lengthy slump
Athletic Bilbao comfortably beat Getafe 4-0 at home in their last La Liga match, managing four shots on target.
Athletic Bilbao are gradually trying to recover from a poor start to the season. Over their last ten matches, the Basques have won three, drawn three and lost four. Their attack has scored 14 goals while their defence has conceded 13, with the away record noticeably worse - an average of 1.8 goals conceded per game on the road. A recent heavy win over Getafe ended a four-match winless run, but Erdin Terzić's side still lack consistency. Changes to the squad are expected for the Cup match, with the Basque derby coming up.

❌ Gorka Guruzeta, Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta and Unai Egiluz are injured. Oihan Sancet has partially recovered but will not be risked on the artificial pitch.
Total Goals Prediction
Athletic Bilbao are not particularly prolific even against sides of their own level. They have scored 14 goals in their last ten matches, and their average away from home is just one goal per game. AE Prat are considerably lower in class, so the Basques will have far more attacking opportunities. However, the rotation and personnel losses expected for this fixture could affect their attacking output. The bet: Athletic Bilbao Team Total - Under 4.5 Goals at 1.85*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
AE Prat have scored in all six of their official matches this season, including two cup ties. Athletic Bilbao have been conceding an average of 1.8 goals per game away from home across their last ten matches, which leaves the hosts with certain opportunities. The Catalans will no doubt look to exploit mistakes in the visitors' reshuffled defence, though the opposition they face will be incomparably stronger than they are used to. The Basques also have enough attacking quality to find the net against a sixth-division side. Our pick: Both Teams to Score - Yes at 2.30*.
Safer Bet
Athletic Bilbao have averaged 1.4 goals per match over their last ten games. Even in their better performances, they rarely put on a real goal fest. AE Prat are the weaker side, but they have conceded just 3 goals in four rounds of their league. Given the possibility of rotation from the visitors, expecting six or more goals from their attack would be overly optimistic. We're taking Athletic Bilbao Team Total - Under 5.5 Goals at 1.40*.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the probability distribution provided, the three most likely scorelines are 0-2 (9.73%), 1-2 (8.52%) and 1-1 (8.38%). Of these, 0-2 has the highest probability, though the other two are not far behind.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Athletic Bilbao remain clear favourites, but their current scoring form doesn't suggest a heavy win is likely. AE Prat have made a confident start to the season and have already shown they can create chances in cup matches. The visitors' defensive problems and likely rotation give the Catalans a chance to score, though the gap in individual quality should be enough to see the La Liga side through. Athletic Bilbao don't need to score four or five goals to get the job done. Predicted score: 1-2. Main bet: Athletic Bilbao Team Total - Under 4.5 Goals.
