Ath Bilbao – Real Madrid

For the 18th matchday of the Spanish La Liga, Athletic Bilbao welcomes Real Madrid to San Mames.

Bilbao were undermatched last week in the Basque derby against Sociedad and suffered a fateful 3-1 defeat.. In the first half, he saw the home team dominate and conceding two goals in the 25' and 37', he was behind in the score, but a few minutes later he reduced and regained hopes for a positive result. With the completion of an hour of play as he conceded a penalty and was left with one player less so it was all over.
Thus he completed 3 consecutive matches without a three-pointer, resulting in has dropped to 8th place with 26 points, but remains close to European tickets.
In midweek, Bilbao won the Espanyol cup 1-0 and celebrated their qualification to the next phase of the competition.

Real comes from a bad result, the previous matchday they were defeated at the home of Villarreal by 2-1. She didn't live up to her performance standards and was justly beaten as she conceded many phases and could have lost by an even bigger score. Everything was decided in the second half, in the first phase he was behind in the score, he equalized in the 60' but shortly after he conceded a second goal which decided the final winner.
With this defeat, Real fell from the top of the standings to 2nd place with 38 points and minus 3 from the first Barcelona.
A few days later he was defeated in the Super Cup final by Barcelona 3-1 and lost the first title of the year.
Midweek, Real beat Villarreal 3-2 for the Spanish Cup, even though they found themselves behind in the score with 2-0, and took the qualification for the continuation of the institution.

Bilbao have not entered the resumption of the league but at home they are always competitive. Real, for its part, also does not impress with its performance, but its quality is indisputable. I think that we will see many phases with intensity and it is worth betting on the many goals.
