Now, let’s take a closer look at some betting angles for Sunday’s La Liga fixture:
Real Madrid v Athletic Club – Sunday, 8pm
- Real Madrid suffered UEFA Champions League heartbreak on Wednesday evening after the holders were eliminated at the hands of Arsenal, with Los Blancos losing 2-1 on the night and 5-1 on aggregate, something that you rarely see.
- If the rumours are to be believed, it’s looking likely that Carlo Ancelotti will step down as the Real Madrid manager after the Copa del Rey final next week, it would be interesting to see if that is still the case if Madrid manage to close this four point gap to Barcelona in the time being.
- That’s now three defeats in a row on home soil for Real Madrid having lost to Valencia and Real Sociedad at the start of the month, they haven’t lost four at home in a row since 2019. Los Blancos will be without Kylian Mbappe for this one following his red card last weekend.
——————————– - Athletic Club continued their European glory dreams on Thursday night, a 2-0 victory against Rangers in the Europa League has set up a semi-clash with Manchester United.
- This years UEFA Europa League final will be held in Bilbao, so progressing into that final with the possibility of winning it would go down in Athletic Clubs long history.
- The Lions are flying-high in La Liga as well, they sit fourth prior to this weekends action which would secure them a UEFA Champions League for next season, but victory here could be tough, having won just one of their last twenty-one visits to Real Madrid.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Real Madrid To Win, Real Madrid 2-1 Athletic Club.
