The Lions of the Basque Country are fourth in the standings and on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League.
Athletic Bilbao are also in good form ahead of the weekend. The Lions are on a two-match winning streak in La Liga, but just one point separates Athletic Club from fifth-place Atletico Madrid.
Like Athletic Club, Real Madrid won their last two La Liga matches. A 4-0 win over Celta Vigo was followed by a 4-2 victory over Osasuna.
No team in La Liga has scored more goals this season than Real Madrid (64). The capital club also has the league’s best defence, conceding just 20 times.
Athletic Bilbao will aim to slow down the Madrid attack. The Lions have the league’s second-best defence, conceding just 26 goals.
Ernesto Valverde has turned Athletic into one of La Liga’s best attacks. The Lions scored 50 goals in 29 games.
Athletic Club average 12.7 shots per game. Forward Gorka Guruzeta is fourth in the La Liga goal scoring stats charts, with 13.
However, it is Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham who leads the league in scoring. Bellingham has scored 16 of Madrid’s 64 goals.
Vinicius Jr. is chasing Bellingham in the goal scoring charts for the Golden Boot. He has 12 goals this campaign.
Madrid are unbeaten in their last three matches versus Athletic Bilbao. Los Blancos won two of the three matches 2-0, but both of those games were played at San Mames, not the Bernabeu.
The last five matches between these clubs finished with under 2.5 goals.
Athletic’s defence has been excellent in recent weeks. They kept six clean sheets in their last eight games. Could Athletic Bilbao corral Madrid’s attack?
Vinicius Jr. will miss the match due to a suspension. Meanwhile, Eduardo Camavinga and Dani Ceballos are both ruled out until April.
Athletic Club’s Yuri Berchiche is set to miss the game due to injury. Midfielder Ander Herrera could be fit for the game.
Madrid’s form is excellent, with 23 games without a defeat. Our algorithm predicts a 2-1 Real Madrid win on Sunday at home. The win will take Madrid to 24 matches without a league loss.
