Ath Bilbao vs Real Madrid Match Preview

Athletic Bilbao will host champions Real Madrid at San Mames stadium in this Spanish La Liga football match.

Ath Bilbao is always really dangerous to play against, especially at their stadium where they have a huge support from their fans. This season they are playing pretty well and currently, they are in 8th place. They are only 2 points off the Champions League spots and it will be really interesting in Spain as a lot of teams are fighting for the spots that are leading to European competitions. Ath Bilbao is without a win after the start of the second part of the season and they are not in good form. They are through the Copa Del Rey and that can be a positive sign for them.

Real Madrid finally won a game after three matches without a win if we don't count penalties against Valencia. They won against Villareal after an impressive comeback. They were 2-0 down but then they scored 3 goals and got a win against Villareal in this Cup match. They played really well in the second half of that match and they will want to replicate that performance in this match. Hopefully, they will get back Tchouameni and Alaba. These two players can give them more stability in defense.

Real Madrid has no space to make another false step because they are 3 points behind Barcelona. It will be really tough match but Ath Bilbao is not in that good form and Real Madrid will have some important players back,so I believe they can replicate their last three visits to San Mames in La Liga as they won all of them.
