Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Club Pick and Prediction
ODDS | AI PICKS |
MONEYLINE | Atletico Madrid -104 |
The Atletico vs Athletic odds will show how challenging it will be to separate these sides in the latest round of La Liga matchups. Just three points is the difference between the Spanish teams coming into this round, with both having dropped points in their previous outings in the competition.
However, it could be hard to ignore the fact that Bilbao are without an away win in 12 visits to Atletico since a 2-0 success in 2011. Atletico’s dominant home advantage against their rivals could be the pivotal factor to follow when making selections on this Atletico vs Athletic matchup.
Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Club Head to Head
Bilbao have landed three wins against Atletico already this season, with each of their last two coming in the Copa del Rey. However, Madrid has recorded victories in two of the last three league matches between the rivals.

Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Club Analysis
Atletico Madrid Preview
The race for the European places in Spain’s top division will be the standout attraction this weekend. The Atletico standings currently see them sit fourth in the table, and they hold a three-point advantage over their direct rivals for the final Champions League position.
Atletico comes into this round of matches after winning just twice across their last five fixtures, but a victory in front of their home fans could secure fourth, as it may be challenging for Bilbao to overturn a six-point deficit with five matches to play.
However, Atletico will need to bounce back to form after a really poor display in their previous outing against Alaves on Sunday. The Spanish giants were beaten 2-0 by their rivals, and the La Liga team stats showed that they managed just four shots on target.
But, it could be easy to see their attacking players get their act back together this weekend, as only the top three sides in Spain have scored more goals than Atletico this term.
Athletic Club Preview
This is a must-win clash for Bilbao in La Liga this weekend, as the recent Athletic results mean that they sit three points behind Atletico in the race for the final Champions League position.
Bilbao’s form has been poor across recent weeks, as they have failed to win in their last three. But, their position in fifth looks assured, as they boast a seven-point advantage over Real Sociedad.
Bilbao were held to a second straight draw in the previous round of matches, as they were unable to find a winning goal in the second period against Granada in front of their home fans.
But, the La Liga player stats for defensive stars impressed in that fixture, as they didn’t allow a single shot on target for their rivals. That defensive backbone will be key to their chances this week.
