Prediction

  • Athletic Bilbao failed to capitalise on teams dropping points around them, after losing 3-1 to Real Sociedad. They were dominated, albeit by a team on great form, and matters were made worse when Alvarez was shown a straight red card in the 60th minute. They did gain some momentum after beating Espanyol 1-0 to progress to the final eight of the Copa del Rey.
  • Real Madrid had a tough time in the Supercopa after they were embarrassed by Barcelona in the final, losing 3-1. They almost suffered the same fate in the cup against Villarreal, going 2-0 down before half-time. Los Blancos managed to turn the game around in the second half with Dani Ceballos leading them to a 3-2 win.
  • Real have a good record in this fixture but the last meeting between the two sides, a cup quarter-final in February, Athletic Club won 1-0 thanks to a late winner from Berenguer.
