Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormErnesto Valverde will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 4 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 11 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 4 games and only kept 2 clean sheets.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Real Madrid, Recent FormIt's fair to say that manager Carlo Ancelotti will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Goalscorer Rodrygo Silva da Goes will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Real Madrid.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The Athletic defence has struggled against Los Blancos in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 games. Playing at home, Athletic have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Real Madrid. Lehoiak have struggled to break down the Real Madrid defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Athletic will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've hosted Real Madrid in the league and not won this fixture at The Estadio San Mamés for 8 games in a row.
Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Dani García (Knee), Jon Morcillo (Shoulder), Nico Williams (Foot) and Iñaki Williams (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Jude Bellingham (Knee) and Thibaut Courtois (Personal reasons) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Carlo Ancelotti will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
