Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in Atletico Madrid’s last five home league games.
• Three of the hosts’ last five league matches have ended 1-1.
• Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten in 16 La Liga matches.

Los Leones can maintain unbeaten run

Atletico Madrid played out a 4-4 thriller against Barcelona in their midweek Copa del Rey tie, but a less exciting affair is expected when they return to the capital to host Athletic Bilba on Saturday.

The hosts are just a point off top spot in La Liga, but their Basque visitors are enjoying a phenomenal season and could slash the gap between the two teams to two points with a victory at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

Bilbao head into this tie unbeaten in their last 16 league fixtures, but five of their eight away games in this run have ended all square and a similar result is expected on Saturday.

Los Colchoneros have drawn three of their last five La Liga games by a 1-1 scoreline and each of their last five at home have featured fewer than three goals. With Athletic playing out three 1-1 draws in their last eight on the road, backing under 2.5 goals alongside a 1-1 correct score prediction appeals.

Oihan Sancet looks a fantastic price to be among the goalscorers, too. The 24-year-old scored his 13th La Liga goal of the season last time out to make it six goals in his last four appearances, so his purple patch could continue.
