Real Madrid, Recent FormHaving secured a 4-2 away win against Osasuna in their latest league match, Real Madrid will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. During that encounter they had 63% possession and had 17 attempts on goal with 10 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 9 shots on goal.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 16 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 28 of their 29 games this season, and of the 14 games they have played at home, they've notched up 8 clean sheets.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 23 games in a row.
In front of goal, Vinicius Júnior has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 6 times in that run of games.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 home win over Alaves in their last league game, Athletic Bilbao will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Alaves who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.
Ernesto Valverde will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Gorka Guruzeta will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Athletic Bilbao's last 6 league games.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Athletic Bilbao who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-2 to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid will be confident of finding the net in this one against Lehoiak, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 8 encounters between the two sides. Athletic have struggled to break down the Los Blancos defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the past Real Madrid have managed to keep the visitors in this home league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 18 games in a row.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti with Dani Ceballos (Knee), Thibaut Courtois (Cruciate ligament) and Éder Militão (Cruciate ligament) all unavailable for selection, and David Alaba (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
With only Yuri Berchiche Izeta (Hamstring) and Ander Herrera (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ernesto Valverde will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
