Our Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
Real Madrid head to this game not just on a good run in the league and recent matches, they also have a dominant run over Athletic Club and they will be further motivated by a good showing in the El Classico. They are unbeaten in 12 matches and have not lost to Athletic Club in the last eight meetings. They have a great run at home, and face a side that has really struggled away from home. In their last nine matches, Real Madrid have trailed just twice but came back to salvage the situations. They have scored in the first half in five of their last nine matches and scored in the second half in eight of the nine. Based on this, we believe Real Madrid have what it takes to lead in both halves against Athletic Club and that will be our bet.
