Athletic Club vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

Athletic Club Form

Athletic Club lost twice in their last three matches, as they were defeated 1-3 by Sevilla and 2-0 against Barcelona. They turned the table by winning 0-2 against Celta Vigo. Athletic Club only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent LaLiga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored six and conceded eight goals.

Atletico Madrid Form

Atletico Madrid look in good shape before their upcoming match as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Malaga by 2-0, before drawing 2-2 with Villarreal. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Sevilla by a 1-3 scoreline. Atletico Madrid managed a decent return of three wins in their last six LaLiga away matches, in which they scored 11 while also conceding 12 times. They also experienced zero draws and three defeats.

For whatever reason, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club usually find goals tough to come by, when facing each other, and history makes under 2.5 goals our call here.
