All eyes will be on Estadio San Mames when Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid lock horns in the La Liga derby. The Basques came from behind to beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 in Madrid and they must be high on confidence following three consecutive wins in all competitions. Oihan Sancet is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace as a substitute against Rayo, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Getafe, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Athletic Club, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. A close encounter is on the cards at “San Mames” and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Vinicius Junior continue to miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Score Prediction: Athletic club 1-2 Real Madrid
