This Saturday, the last LaLiga slot sees Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao come together at Metropolitano Stadium in the capital. Taking some things into account, an Athletic Bilbao Tie no Bet looks like a smart bet in the early market.
First things first, Atletico Madrid have a paramount game taking place just four days after this one, their semi-final tie in the Champions League. This huge game will be a priority, and we’ve seen this in their rather neglectful actions in the league recently, losing all of their last four. This even includes last time out, where they conceded three against a team not far from the bottom three.
Moreover, Los Colchoneros have been really sloppy defensively as of late, conceding multiple goals in each of their last four LaLiga meetings, and in seven out of their last eight in all competitions.
Bilbao pinched a win last time out, whilst all the motivation lies with the visitors; Atletico Madrid are fairly safe in fourth place for the time being, whilst they’ll be preoccupied with their UCL clash. On the contrary, Los Leones are chasing the European slots, and can totally focus on the league.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
Bilbao themselves haven’t been flawless lately, in what has been a rather unsuccessful LaLiga campaign up to this point. They’ve lost four out of their last six, but returned to victory last time out.
But, knowing they’ll be facing distracted opponents, the away side will certainly see this as a chance to take advantage and grab three points, which could potentially jump them into sixth place, depending on other results. When it comes to motivation at this current time, Bilbao come out on top, which could just be enough to see them nab a tie at minimum.
