Athletic Club versus Atlético Madrid is an exciting La Liga matchup on Saturday, 6 December, at San Mamés. Athletic Club has failed to replicate the form they showed last season, which saw them qualify for the Champions League. As it stands, they already trail league leaders Real Madrid by 15 points and are 11 points outside the top four positions. Athletic Club will play Levante and Real Madrid before hosting Atletico.
Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, are firmly in the title race, and a win could take them closer to the top. They are fourth in the standings with 28 points, and a win against Oviedo could see them close the gap with Real Madrid. However, Diego Simeone’s side will travel to Barcelona before visiting Athletic Club. How they navigate these assignments would provide a clear picture of whether they can end the Barcelona-Real Madrid league dominance.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico will likely come into this matchup as the betting favorites. They have recently dominated this matchup, winning on three of the last four occasions. The Madrid-based club also scored first in three of their previous four meetings with Bilbao. As usual, they are conceding few goals, giving up just 11 goals, which is the best record in the league. They could frustrate the struggling Bilbao attackers, who have scored only 12 goals this season. The hosts will need to start scoring goals to stand a chance against the ruthless visitors. We predict a clinical 1-0 or 2-0 win for Simeone’s side.
Our prediction for Athletic Club vs Atletico Madrid: Both teams to score.
