Atletico Madrid, Recent FormAtlético Madrid will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 away win against Celta Vigo. During that encounter they had 53% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 14 shots on goal.
Although they have only shipped 3 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 7 goals netted in those 6 matches. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. Having shipped goals in 8 out of their 10 matches this season, supremo Diego Simeone will not be pleased with his team's struggles to keep a clean sheet at home.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 away win over Valencia last time out in the league. They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Valencia's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
Manager Ernesto Valverde will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Oihan Sancet will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Athletic Bilbao's last 6 league games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Atlético Madrid.
In the past Atlético have managed to keep the visitors in this home league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 11 games in a row.
With no real injury worries, Atlético manager Diego Simeone will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Ander Herrera (Muscle) and Iñigo Martínez (Physical discomfort) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ernesto Valverde will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
