Sports Mole previews Thursday's Copa del Rey clash between Athletic Bilbao and Valencia, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Valencia

Athletic ought to feel capable of going all the way in the Copa del Rey given the calibre of opponents they have already overcome, and Marcelino remains blessed with a near fully-fit squad.
