Match Preview: It is going to be one heck of a clash. Both the sides have strong and balanced squads. In addition to this, they both are in top form since the start of the season. Thus, an exciting game is definitely on the cards.
A lot of consecutive big matches will put pressure on Diego Simeone’s side. But they are used to it. So they will try to put the pressure back on the opponents. Among the last 5 meetings, Atletico won on 4 occasions and Bilbao won just 1. However, The Lions will be more than pleased to recall that they won the last ever cash between the two sides.
Coming to the prediction, I’m once again mentioning about a thrilling game. I am also guessing high number of goals in this fixture. Finally my prediction is a 3-2 victory for the hosts.
