Arenas, Cup champions in 1919, Sestao and Gernika went into the cup draw almost certain to face a First Division rival. For Athletic, who have already faced those from the Left Bank three years ago en route to the final, any of the three will be a comfortable trip and with stands full of fans who aren’t too hostile to their colours.
Sestao is the unbeaten leader of the second group of the Second Federation, where the Arenas are hot with only two losses in 10 games. They are the two strongest candidates for promotion. In Gobela, already full against Lugo, there could be a confrontation between two Cup champion clubs, two historic ones.
Gernika want to turn Urbieta into a fortress where they can get out of the bottom of the table in the league. The Cup is almost a nuisance for those Larrazabal, a rojiblanco myth at the head of the bench, but it could be a big economic prize for its centenary as a club. They just eliminated a whole Leganés, leaving their door to zero for the first time. Everything is possible.
