Athletic Bilbao take on the visitors Real Madrid at “San Mames” in the gameweek 14 of the Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played in Bilbao on Saturday, December 2nd.
Athletic Bilbao had a bad last week covering 2:2 draw against Deportivo La Coruna in the LaLiga at first and then 0:1 loss to Formentera in the Copa del Rey at their own turf, having been eliminated from the tournament. “Lehoiak” do not feel rather comfortable in the Spanish elite division; the team earned 13 points with 14-18 goal difference in 13 encounters played, sitting now on the 16th place in the table. The no-win run of the Basques makes up five clashes and has been lasting since the 14th of October. The side managed to collect only two points during that period. Athletic Bilbao took eight points, with five goals for and five goals against in six battles conducted at their own turf.

Real Madrid have not been beaten across five latest clashes covering three triumphs and two draws. “Blancos” got 2:2 draw against Fuenlabrada in the Copa del Rey on this Wednesday, however, it doesn’t prevent them from promoting to the 1/8 final stage. As for the LaLiga, Real Madrid settle on the fourth position in the standings with 27 points earned and 25-11 goal difference. On the road Zinedine Zidane’s side picked up 13 points with 11 goals for and five goals against in six games played.
Real Madrid won their four latest head-to-heads against Athletic Bilbao with 5:10 aggregated score. The visitors are also considered to be the favourites of the upcoming Saturday battle. However, one should bear in mind that the Basques are quite able to take points from any opponent at their home field and in addition, Real Madrid don’t look as strong on the road now as they used to in previous seasons. Thus, I believe that even if the hosting team will lose, the spread will be minimal.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win with +1.5 Asian handicap.
