Ath. Bilbao vs Atl. Madrid Match Preview

This is a big match in Spanish La Liga where Athletic Bilbao is playing at home against Atletico Madrid.

Athletic Bilbao is currently in 3rd position in La Liga and they are playing really well. They have conceded only 5 goals and scored 17 goals so far. They are playing exciting football and considering that they are not playing in European competitions this season they can focus on La Liga and may finish in the top 4 teams to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

Atletico Madrid is one point behind Bilbao with 16 points. They are 6 points behind leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid but they are not playing that well this season. They are still probably the third-best team in Spain but they have their issues in both La Liga and UEFA Champions League.

Both teams have strong defenses and this match will be really tough for both. Atletico Madrid played in the UEFA Champions League a few nights ago something that could be a handicap for them tonight. None of their last 8 games had over 3 goals and I expect will see a similar low-scoring game tonight at San Mamés Barria.
