Athletic Bilbao – Atletico Madrid, La Liga Prediction

7 of Atletico’s last 9 away games have ended in over 1.5 goals in La Liga

In each of the last 7 matches between Bilbao and Atletico there were at least 2 goals

⚽ Atletico are in a typical position at this time of the season

This is a typical season for Bilbao, in which the team has chances for something big, such as a fight for the top 4, but in the second part of the season it starts to record bad results and moves away a lot. Atletico started the round in 10th place, but in the last 2 matches they won and thus broke a series of 4 consecutive losses and a total of 10 consecutive games without a victory in the championship.

📑 Atletico are not in a particularly advantageous position

Atletico may have eliminated Liverpool from the Champions League just before quarantine, but their situation in La Liga is not very positive given their goals for the season. They are not in the top 4, they are not even in the top 5 and this time Simeone’s team may not be able to qualify for the Champions League. Atletico, in general, has a good record against Bilbao and often beat them in recent years.

We bet against logic

 Expert view: We are used to watching a few goals in the matches of these two teams. They can claim to be two of the most defensive teams in the league not only this season, but in general in recent years. However, almost always, when they face each other in these last years, the results are not very logical and we watch very interesting and spectacular matches, which are far from being played only for a draw. We believe that it will be the same now. Prediction – Over 1.5 goals at 1.55.
