Athletic Club welcome Real Madrid on Wednesday in the Spanien LaLiga, with the host motivated by the possibility of closing the gap in the table on the visitors. On the other hand, the latter could distance themselves even further with a win in this exciting round 19 match.

Athletic Club are placed eightth with 20 points after 14 matches. Real Madrid occupy a position as twoth in the league on 33 points.

Athletic Club are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Real Madrid but odds don't favour them to pull it off.

Athletic Club have a hard time getting on the scoreboard these days, as they managed a poorly eight goals in their previous ten matches. That is an average of 0.8 goals per game, in which they conceded 13 goals, or 1.3 goals per game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.

Real Madrid show off splendid stats in their last ten matches, where they hit the target 2.1 times on average per game. They scored 21 goals and conceded 11, an average of 1.1 a game. They held on for a clean sheet in four of these.

Athletic Club were defeated by 1-0 in their last encounter with Real Madrid, but did win the reverse match 2-1, though.
