Athletic bilbao vs Real madrid
Real Madrid will be looking to close the gap on Barcelona as they travel to Athletic Bilbao for a midweek Spanish La Liga fixture.
Athletic Bilbao are having a great season and can cause real problems for the champions. However, Real have impressed in the league and given their fine record in this fixture, should come out on top.
Athletic Bilbao Form
Athletic Bilbao have plenty of reasons to be pleased with their campaign so far as they are currently fourth in the table. Ernesto Valverde’s men have made themselves difficult to overcome and are unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions.
Bilbao have picked up six wins in that run, including a 2-1 victory at Rayo Vallecano in their previous fixture. However, they are a bit inconsistent at home, with three wins from the last six matches in front of their fans.
Athletic Bilbao often impress going forward and have spread their goals across the team. They have also scored in their last six matches across all competitions.
Real Madrid Form
Real Madrid showed they can play without Vinicius Junior, claiming a 2-0 victory over Getafe last time out in La Liga. Jude Bellingham opened the scoring from the spot before turning provider for Kylian Mbappe to score the second.
That win was enough to move Real Madrid to within one point of Barcelona and they could go top if the midweek matches go their way. The El Clasico remains their only defeat this season and they have won three of their last four La Liga away matches.
The goals continue to flow for Real Madrid even without Vinicius. However, they have conceded in four of their last five La Liga away matches.
Head to Head
Real Madrid always seem to get the better of Athletic Bilbao, winning three of the last four matches. Los Blancos have also won six of the last seven meetings at San Mames, including a 2-0 win in last season’s fixture.
Verdict
Athletic Bilbao are often tough to beat and their form this season could make them tricky opponents for Real Madrid. However, Los Blancos have the superior quality and seem to always find a way past them.
Real Madrid may be struggling at the back but often make up for it with their impressive attack. While a clean sheet is unlikely, they should do enough to claim the win.
