Atlético Madrid

After the unexpected exit from the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, Atlético's sole motivation until the end of the season is the battle for a top-4 spot. However, it's not as straightforward for Diego Simeone's team, as Athletic Bilbao is right on their heels. Atlético currently holds fourth place, with Athletic trailing by just three points. Therefore, much will be decided in this head-to-head encounter. Last weekend, Atlético missed an incredible opportunity to distance themselves from the club from Bilbao, losing in a sensational manner to Alavés away with a score of 0-2. In their last 5 La Liga matches, the "colchoneros" have only gathered six points.

Athletic Bilbao

No matter where Athletic Bilbao ends up in the La Liga standings, this season under Ernesto Valverde has been incredibly successful, marking their first Copa del Rey victory in 40 years. However, there's a significant downturn in Athletic's performance following their triumph in the Copa del Rey. In the last round, the "lions" played 1-1 at home against the hopeless Granada, and prior to that, they had a draw with the same scoreline against Villarreal. Nonetheless, due to slip-ups by Atlético, Athletic Bilbao still has a chance for the top 4.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• This season, Athletic knocked Atlético out of the Copa del Rey at the semifinal stage, winning both legs - 3-0 and 1-0.
• In the 17th round of the current La Liga season, Athletic defeated Atlético with a score of 2-0.
• Atlético has won only two out of the last nine matches against Athletic.

Atlético Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao prediction

I expect a hard-fought battle and cautious play from both teams in this match. I don't anticipate many goals and am betting on Under 2.5 goals.
