Real Madrid vs Athletic Club prediction, odds and preview

Real Madrid will welcome Athletic Club to Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday night in La Liga, in what is expected to be a keenly contested match.

The hosts beat Osasuna 4-2 away from home prior to the break in the league and are unbeaten in their last 12 matches moving into this clash.

Meanwhile, Athletico Bilbao edged Deportivo Alaves in a 2-0 win at San Mames prior to the international break and will be aiming to keep a possible five-game unbeaten streak.

The reverse fixture saw Real Madrid grab all three points at San Mames in August last year with both Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo scoring in that game This time however, both teams look convincing in terms of form and readiness and Los Blancos will have to establish themselves in this game if they want to strip the visitors of any points in this game.

Also, Real Madrid have the head-to-head advantage with three wins and a draw in their last five matches, losing only once in the period, and Carlo Ancelotti’s side look poised to grab the victory.

For the hosts, Vinicius Jr is out of this game due to suspension, so Jude Bellingham will partner Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz in attack for Los Blancos.

Meanwhile, Inaki Williams and Nico Williams will be the main threat in attack for Ernesto Valverde’s side.

The match starts at 7:00 pm.
