A tough run lately in La Liga has seen Real Madrid lose their position at the league summit. They have a chance to reclaim it, though, as they travel to eighth-placed Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Athletic Bilbao aren’t having the best of times in their season. Injuries, a poor run of form, and sheer bad luck have conspired to keep them out of European slots at the moment.
Athletic sit eighth, four points off the top six and 13 behind Real Madrid. But they are coming off a win, having beaten Levante 2-0 for a perfect warm-up for this match. That was only their fourth win in 15 matches.
Recent results and a rumored dressing room disunity are among issues threatening Real Madrid’s push for any silverware. Los Blancos come into this game having failed to win for the fourth time in five matches.
They played to a 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened Girona in their last match, leaving them with one win in five outings. In those five games, Real kept just one clean sheet, but they failed to score in the same game—a Madrid derby against Rayo Vallecano.
In the other four matches, Real conceded first. A run of six wins in their last 10 matches will still place Real as favorites.
