Valencia host Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of the Copa Del Rey Semi-final at the Mestalla. The previous leg between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw with Raul Garcia and Hugo Duro scoring one apiece for their respective sides. The aggregate winners of this tie will get to play one amongst Rayo Vallecano or Real Betis in the Copa Del Rey final. Valencia overcame the likes of Utrillas, Arenteiro, Cartagena, Atletico Baleares and Cadiz to set up the semi-final tie with Athletic Bilbao. Valencia are ninth in the La Liga standings. They have lost just twice in their last six matches and are unbeaten at home in their last three fixtures.

Athletic Bilbao beat Atletico Mancha Real, Barcelona and Real Madrid to set up the semi-final clash with Valencia. They have been a force to be reckoned with at their home venue at San Mames in Bilbao but have not looked like the same side on the road. They have lost each of their last two away matches and also have only once in their last four matches. As far as La Liga is concerned, Athletic Bilbao are eighth with a four-point lead ahead of Valencia but that would not be a factor here in this cup tie.
