Athletic Bilbao Review

Atletico have been performing well lately: the last time the Bilbao side lost was back in late October, despite facing such serious opponents as Valencia (2-2), Villarreal (3-2) and Girona (1-1). Also, before making a prediction on Athletic, you should pay attention to the fact that the team's attacking line works well: the Basques have scored at least twice in their last six out of eight matches.

Atletico Madrid Review

Atletico have been on a great run, with six wins in their last seven fixtures and a 2-0 win over tough rivals Lazio on Wednesday to move into the Champions League play-offs in first place. Before making a prediction for Atletico, however, it's worth noting that the Madrid side are not the best at away games: this season they've only beaten Feyenoord (3-1), Celta (3-0), Osasuna (2-0) and Rayo Vallecano (7-0).

Before making a prediction for Athletic Bilbao vs Atletico, you should pay attention to the fact that sportsbooks could not determine a clear favorite for the upcoming confrontation, and this is not surprising. Recently, both teams show a decent level of play, fighting for a place in the top-4, scoring in every match. Both teams will be fighting for three points, so it should be a very interesting game.
