Athletic Club vs Real Madrid preview
Athletic Club
The hosts, who were defeated 3-1 by Real Sociedad in their last top-flight match on January 14, will try to emulate Villarreal’s last performance in LaLiga to come out on top against Real Madrid.
Los Leones, who advanced to the Copa del Rey quarter-finals after their 1-0 victory over Espanyol, have just won one of their LaLiga last five games.
Ernesto Valverde’s team is sitting eight in the standings with 26 points, but they are only two behind fourth-placed Atlético Madrid, so a win over Los Blancos could see them go up a few positions if Osasuna, Betis, Villarreal, and Atlético don’t get away with the three points.
Athletic have won 17 points from nine league games at home, but Carlo Ancelotti’s side has the second-strongest away record in the league.
Real Madrid
Like Athletic, Real Madrid will try to bounce back from their last defeat in LaLiga against Villarreal (2-1).
The current Champions League winners will go into the match after recording another impressive comeback in the club’s history, this time against Villarreal (2-3) in the Copa del Rey.
A win that will probably help them in terms of confidence after their clear 1-3 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.
Real, who will face their neighbors Atlético Madrid in the quarterfinals of the competition, have come out on top in all of their last five league games against Athletic and haven’t lost to the Basque outfit in LaLiga since 2015.
Los Blancos, sitting second in the domestic league, have won 38 points from 16 games, losing only two games.
