La Liga Preview

The battle for the European positions is heating up in La Liga at present, and there will be a fascinating fixture in the competition on Tuesday. There will be pressure on Atletico Madrid to respond in front of their home fans after suffering a second defeat in three matches in their previous match in the competition. 

The Spanish club remain fourth in the standings, but their recent form has allowed Athletic Bilbao to close to within two points of the top four spots in the competition. Atletico’s most recent defeat was suffered against the same opposition, losing 2-0 on the road against their rivals. It was a disappointment how poor they were in the final third in that fixture, and that would be an obvious area to improve in this fixture on Tuesday.
