Athletic Bilbao - Real Madrid betting tips and odds

Athletic Bilbao have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Real Madrid. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Los Blancos are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Team from Bilbao are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

The hosts will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways following their last round’s disappointment. They suffered a dreadful Real Sociedad away defeat without ever getting close to salvaging anything from the game. Having conceded early on in the game, things went from bad to worse for Team from Bilbao.

Top online bookmakers believed the away team’s previous match could have gone either way, despite the fact that they were playing with a home-field disadvantage. The two teams were neck-to-neck for most of the game’s runtime, but their opponents eventually took a narrow lead and won 2:1.

With 3 points less than the current best-placed team, Real are on the track for a satisfying end to the season. The Champions League qualification is still a ways off, though, and the road there will not be easy.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.92, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
