With both teams having shown strong performances this season, this match is poised to be a pivotal moment in their campaigns. Athletic Bilbao, currently sitting at 5th place with 29 points from 16 games, will look to capitalize on their home advantage. Atlético Madrid, not far ahead in 3rd place with 34 points from 15 matches, will aim to solidify their position near the top of the table.

Athletic Bilbao

Athletic Bilbao has been performing admirably this season, securing 8 wins, 5 draws, and suffering only 3 losses. With a positive goal difference of +12, they have shown both offensive prowess and defensive solidity. Their recent form has been consistent, as evidenced by their last five games which resulted in two wins, two draws, and one loss (DWDWW). In their last fixture against Granada CF at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes, they managed a draw with a full-time scoreline of 1-1.

When it comes to head-to-head encounters with Atlético Madrid, the record is evenly matched over their last five meetings; Athletic Bilbao has won twice, drawn once, and lost twice. Playing at home this time around could give them the edge they need to tip the scales in their favor.

Atlético Madrid

Atlético Madrid has had a strong start to the season as well, with an impressive tally of 11 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. Their goal difference stands at +18, indicating a robust attack coupled with a stringent defense. However, their recent form shows some vulnerability (WLWWL), including a loss in their last game. Despite this setback, they managed to secure a win in their most recent fixture against Almeria with a score of 2-1 at their home ground, Estádio Cívitas Metropolitano.

The head-to-head record against Athletic Bilbao mirrors that of their opponents – two wins, one draw, and two losses. As the away team in the upcoming match, Atlético Madrid will have to overcome the challenge of playing without the home crowd's support.
