Match preview Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid

90-minute odds: 3/4 : 0

Total goals: 2 3/4

Athletic Bilbao will host Real Madrid at San Mames in a vital match. The home team is ranked 8th with 20 points, while Real Madrid is 2nd with 33 points, trailing Barcelona by 4 points.

Athletic Bilbao’s form has been mixed. After a 0-4 defeat to Barcelona, they recovered with a 2-0 win over Levante. However, their offense has only managed 14 goals in 14 games, indicating a lack of efficiency. San Mames is always a challenging venue for any opponent.

Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid is currently struggling in La Liga, having drawn their last three matches against Rayo Vallecano, Elche, and Girona. Coach Xabi Alonso is under considerable pressure. Despite this, with stars like Mbappe (14 La Liga goals) and Vinicius Jr, they remain a potent attacking force. Their defense has conceded just 13 goals, ranking among the league’s best.

Regarding head-to-head history, Real Madrid usually dominates with 3 wins in the last 5 meetings. However, in the latest encounter at San Mames in December 2024, Athletic Bilbao secured a 2-1 victory, ending Real Madrid’s long unbeaten run at this stadium.

Under pressure to regain the top position, Real Madrid will aim for a win. Nevertheless, Athletic Bilbao, with home advantage and solid defense, will present a tough challenge. The match is expected to be low scoring.
