Form guide for Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid

Bilbao:

One year after Ernesto Valverde came back to the team, Los Leones will try to do better than last year and try to make it to European competition. Bilbao is having issues forming a competitive team given that they can only sign players from the region.

Real Madrid:

Ancelotti hasn’t had a good start to the preseason with a loss to rivals Barcelona and later to Juventus. The team seemed good up front but lack the goals to finish. They are still hoping to sign Mbappé to aid their issues with scoring goals. New signing Jude Bellingham seems to be settling well at the club and his place in the starting lineup appear certain.

Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid prediction

This is going to be a year with a lot surprises for Real Madrid. As much as they won’t like to admit it, it appears this is a transition year for los blancos as they still don’t jump into the market and sign a player like Mbappe or Haaland. For Bilbao it is the same struggle every year. Their inability to get player from other places that are not of their region makes it hard for them to compete.

Prediction: Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid
