Here's our Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction analysis: Having gotten back their mojo, Real Madrid will be looking to blow Athletic Bilbao out of the water when both sides lock horns at the San Mames Stadium on Tuesday night.

Not the ideal league start Bilbao would have envisaged, they are floundering in the bottom-half of the standings. With only fourteen points from their opening twelves games, they are placed 12^th on the log, and only two points clear of the drop-zone.

Surely, these ones need to step up their game if they are to play out a decent campaign this time around, after losing out on continental qualification last season. Although, against this in-form Real Madrid side, ATH are unlikely to stand any chance of salvaging anything meaningful.

Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Team News

Blowing hot and cold in the earlier stages of the La Liga season, Real Madrid looked to be heading in the wrong direction. In fact, there were already calls for the sack of club legend Zinedine Zidane as some fans felt the gaffer had lost the plot.

You wouldn’t blame them for turning against the Frenchman given Madrid’s struggles at the time, especially in the Champions League. Despite being handed a straightforward group, Los Blancos almost missed out on a top-two finish in their qualifying section.

It would have been an embarrassment if these European heavyweights had failed to make it past the first-hurdle in the competition. On the verge of disqualification, the Meringues rallied around to pull off a magnificent miracle to progress to the last-16.

Winning their last two CL matches, Madrid toppled their group to book a ticket to the competition’s knockout rounds. They are also looking much improved in the La Liga, having secured victories in each of their previous two games.

In tip-top form on the last matchday, Real Madrid knocked their cross-town rivals Atletico Madrid for six, hitting two unanswered goals past them. Casemiro and a Jan Oblak-own goal was enough to condemn Los Rojiblancos to their first league defeat this term.

Heading into their next game on the back of that big win, Los Blancos will be buzzing. Bilbao are not exactly a side to give Madrid any sort of problems. Garitano’s men are in something of a tailspin, failing to win their last three games on the spin.

Props to them for their thrilling 2-2 draw versus Valencia last time out though, as they delivered a five-star performance in that game. Should Bilbao replicate the displays of that day, they could well nick a point in this fixture.

Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

Knowing fully well that they are no match for Madrid’s firepower, Athletic Bilbao should be happy to sit back and soak in pressure here. That said, we might not see a fully-fit Los Blancos side in this game, given they were in action just few days ago. However, same can be said for Bilbao who played on the weekend. We are expecting no less than two goals between these sides come fulltime (Over 2.5)
