Athletic Bilbao is in excellent form. The team is unbeaten in nine matches, six of which ended in victories and three in draws. Moreover, the Basques have won their last three games in a row. Ernesto Valverde’s side has scored at least one goal in six consecutive matches. These results have propelled Athletic into the top four of La Liga. They currently occupy fourth place with 26 points from 15 matches, edging Villarreal on goal difference. Additionally, Athletic boasts a solid defense, having conceded just 14 goals in 15 games—ranking fourth in the league.
Real Madrid has been showing inconsistency. Over their last six matches, “Los Blancos” have recorded three wins and three losses. Despite this, the team sits in second place in La Liga, trailing Barcelona by only one point with a game in hand. Based on points dropped, Real Madrid leads the league. However, this is more due to Barcelona’s inconsistent form, as they have struggled to pick up points regularly. Real Madrid, on the other hand, has the second-best defense in La Liga, conceding just 11 goals (only Atlético Madrid has conceded fewer). One concern ahead of the match is the absence of six players due to injuries, including Vinícius, which could impact the result.
