Athletic Club vs Real Madrid Recent Form Analysis

The hosts were victorious away at Levnate last time out, bouncing back from a thumping defeat to Barcelona at Camp Nou. Bilbao have won four out of seven home matches in the league so far this season, scoring eight goals and conceding six in these games. Wednesday's opponents will be a tough test but they should see this as an opportunity to close in on the European places.

Xabi Alonso's men have provided enough content to fill up a gossip magazine in recent weeks. On the pitch, they have drawn three straight league games and were saved by the heroics of Mbappe to claim victory in the Champions League at Olympiacos. Regardless, Real Madrid have the best away record in the division and have lost just once in the league in The Madrid Derby.

Whilst Real Madrid have had the majority of victories between these two in recent years, the most important stat is that Athletic Club won the last fixture and should not be ruled out to do so again here.
