Huge action in the Spanish top flight takes place on Saturday, as Atletico Madrid look to reignite their title aspirations by landing maximum points on the road. Athletic Bilbao will be a tough opponent this weekend, as they are on a strong unbeaten run.
A competitive fixture in the Spanish top-flight is set for this weekend, as Atletico Madrid look to claim maximum points that could take them closer to the top of the standings. They come into this round of matches after winning three of their previous four. They bounced back to form well last weekend after securing victory against Almeria.
It was the perfect response by Atletico following their recent defeat in the competition, as they secured a 2-1 success in front of their home fans. However, they were forced to sweat in the final half an hour after Almeria pulled a late goal back. But, the damage was done by Atletico in the opening 22 minutes following goals from Alvaro Morata and Angel Correa.
Bilbao are unlikely to be fazed by this challenge, as they come into this round of matches in fine recent form. In fact, a victory in front of their home fans on Saturday could see them end the round as close as two points to the Champions League spots in the league standings.
Bilbao have won three of their last five matches in La Liga, and they are yet to suffer a defeat over that period. However, their positive form was halted in the league last weekend, as they could only play out a 1-1 tie against Granada. Inaki Williams scored the opener for Bilbao, before Granada levelled the scores in the second period.
Atletico have a fine recent record in this fixture, as they won both clashes against their rivals in the league last term. That includes a 1-0 success on the road in October 2022. However, Bilbao have won three of their last four home matches against Atletico, which could be an interesting trend to follow this weekend.
Bilbao’s home record in this fixture is strong, and they have been very challenging to beat in La Liga in recent months. Therefore, we will be taking a chance on the draw being the outcome between these sides on Saturday.
