Atletico Madrid will welcome Athletic Bilbao when the Spanish La Liga enters matchday 26. The two teams sit side by side in the standings with Atletico in third edging fourth-placed Bilbao by five points. Our prediction for this match is below.
Atletico Madrid have accumulated 53 points after winning 15 and drawing eight of their 25 fixtures. This record has them just a point below the joint league leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Diego Simeone’s men, who won the reverse match 1-0 back in August, arrive for this match having not lost in nine games. Atleti, who hammered Valencia 3-0 in the league last weekend, are coming off a 4-4 draw in the Copa del Rey away to Barcelona.
Athletic Bilbao are also putting their own unbeaten run on the line this weekend in the capital. Ernesto Valverde’s men haven’t lost in six matches.
The Lions, who have won three times in this stretch, produced one of the biggest results this season last weekend. Bilbao, playing at home against rock bottom side Valladolid, produced a 7-1 thumping.
Nico Williams scored twice in the game and was the only player with more than one goal. Bilbao have racked up 48 points thanks to 13 wins and nine draws.
