The Final round of Copa Del Rey 2012 will pit in Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. Both football clubs have the most number of wins in the history of the Copa Del Rey. Having met one another in several Final rounds of the cup for 6 times, both teams are bound to prove which one of them is

Despite getting a record of 23 wins in the Copa Del Rey, the second-highest in the cup’s history, Athletic Bilbao’s has never won the Final since 1984. It reached and won the Final frequently between 1903 and 1985. Bilbao’s last win in 1984 was fought against Barcelonan with a 1-0 score. However, its last Final round in 2009 was won by the Catalan club with a 4-1 score. Gaining 4 losses and 1 draw in its last five matches, Bilbao has lots to prove in this year’s Copa Del Rey Final.

Barcelona, being the stronger contender in this match, has previously beaten Bilbao in the 2009 Copa Del Rey Final. It enjoys a strong record of 3 wins and 2 draws in its last five matches. Since Bilbao’s last win in 1984, Barcelona won the Copa Del Rey five times in 1988, 1990, 1997, 1998 and 2009. Barcelona’s record of 25 cup wins is the highest in the history of Copa Del Rey.

7 Important Factors When Betting for Football

When you bet on football, you have to form your own betting strategies. If you want to make any football betting strategy work, you must observe the different things that could affect the outcome of your bets.  Here are some important factors that you need to take note all the time when betting on football matches.

News on Teams

When betting on football, it is important to keep in tune with the latest news of your favourite football team. Take note of the latest news involving your chosen team that is relevant to the outcome of your bet. News such as player injuries, relegation rumours, management change and the like have a strong bearing on your bet. The performance of the team that you have betted for can change due to those updates.

Determination of Teams

Your chosen football team’s determination towards a certain match could affect the outcome of your bet. Check if your chosen team has expressed determination to win an upcoming match, especially if it is going to face its rival or if it is focused on winning the title after years of being winless.

Team Records on Last Matches

Recent performances of your favourite team could determine whether or not it is getting stronger or weaker. Before you place your bets, always research on records of recent performances of your chosen team. Those records have a convincing connection to the possible outcomes of your bet.

Head-to-Head Team Records

It is also important to search whether the football team you have betted for has a history of previous matches with its opponent in an upcoming match. Check on head-to-head records of your chosen team versus its opponent so that you could see which of the two sides have an impressive record.

Team Records on Home and Away

Study on statistics involving your chosen football team’s home and away records. Your chosen team could have a history of scoring better when playing on either home or away games.

Team Schedule

Examine the schedule of your chosen football team you are betting for. Your team’s performance can also be determined through its schedule. See if your team is going to play important matches or participate in a series of games crammed in one month. Those factors could either make your chosen team tired or more motivated to win.

Sportsbook Odds

Check the odds designated for your preferred football team. Pick a trustworthy sportsbook that offers great odds values such as 12BET to make the most out of your sports betting experience. In that way, you will earn more money as you win in your bets
