  • Venue: Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid)

Real Madrid "only" won the Cup this season, which is not good enough by their standards. In La Liga, they are 2nd with 77 points - 11 fewer than 1st place Barcelona. Even though being 2nd or 3rd in La Liga is pretty much the same, Real Madrid will surely want to finish in front of their city rival Atletico Madrid which is only one point away. 

Athletic Bilbao became a team that regularly misses Europe. The last time they secured Europe was back in the 2016/17 season when they finished 7th. This season, they are very close to securing Europe since they are in 8th place with 50 points. Still, there are five teams with 49 or 50 points, and Athletic Bilbao are in the worst form of those teams and will also play against the most formidable opponent. 

Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao pick: Real Madrid to win

Real Madrid have been really good at home this season, with 13 wins in 18 matches in La Liga. Recently, they have been very dominant, with six wins and only one draw in the previous seven home matches. The only draw during that period was against probably the best team in the World, Manchester City. 

Athletic Bilbao are in very poor form. They lost five of the last seven matches and even failed to score a goal in four of those seven games. 

Athletic Bilbao lost the previous two road games against much worse teams than Real Madrid (Osasuna and Villarreal), with a 1:7 goal difference.

Real Madrid won five of the last six h2h games.

Real Madrid team news

There is a lot of speculation about Carlo Ancelotti's future at Real Madrid. According to credible sources, the club would like to replace him, but the Italian coach wants to stay until the end of his contract (30th June 2024). If Real Madrid terminates his contract, Ancelotti could take over the Brazilian national team.

For this match, a few players are doubtful due to injuries: Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior, Marco Asensio, and Mariano Diaz. The team missed all of them in the previous match against Sevilla and still won by 2:1 on the road. 

Daniel Carvajal served his suspension in the last match and is available for the Athletic Bilbao game.
