Athletic Bilbao - Real Madrid predictions

Athletic Bilbao will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by Real Madrid, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 4.14.

If everything goes according to plan and Real M. put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The hosts are coming off of a very strong performance at Levante, which secured them an HT/FT away victory. Few were surprised by the victory itself, but the 0:2 score and their dominance throughout were above most expectations.

The first 45 minutes of Real’s last La Liga match against Girona did not go the way most people expected it to. Real Madrid were left behind quickly and had to work hard in the second half to salvage a point in a 1:1 game, even though most betting predictions expected them to win by a big margin.

Athletic Bilbao have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.
