Atletico Madrid, Recent FormThe 2-0 away defeat to Alaves will not have sat easily with the Atletico Madrid squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 69%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Alaves, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 15 of their 16 played at Cívitas Metropolitano this season.
They have had an excellent run of form at Cívitas Metropolitano recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games. They've shown great form at home this season, winning 14 of their 16 league games.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Granada. They came away from that fixture with a 67% share of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Granada, who managed 5 attempts on goal, 0 of which were on target.
Valverde will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 4 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, but this season they have failed to score in 7 of 15 games on the raod.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Gorka Guruzeta will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Athletic Bilbao.
Athletic Bilbao recorded a 2-0 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Cívitas Metropolitano, Lehoiak have been unable to break through the Atletico defence and find the back of the net. In their past 5 meetings, Athletic's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Los Colchoneros will have to take their chances when they come.
In the past Atletico have managed to keep the visitors in this home league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 12 games in a row.
With Memphis Depay (Muscle) and Marcos Paulo (Cruciate ligament) both unavailable and Víctor Vitolo (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season, Atletico manager Diego Simeone will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
