Real Madrid, Recent FormReal Madrid will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 away win against Sevilla. They achieved 67% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Sevilla's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 17 of their 18 home games this season.
They have had an excellent run of form at The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games. They've had a decent home record this season, unbeaten in 17 of their 18 league games at The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
Karim Benzema will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, having notched up 7 goals for Real Madrid in their last 6 league matches at home.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAny Athletic Bilbao pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 1-0 home defeat by Elche. In that game they had 64% possession and managed 28 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Elche who had 6 attempts and 2 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Iñaki Williams has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Real Madrid.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-2 win for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with Los Leones. In their past 5 meetings, Los Blancos' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Athletic will have to take their chances when they come.
Athletic will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 6 times they've met Real Madrid in the league and not won this fixture for 15 games in a row.
Karim Benzema has shown great form in front of goal in the past in this fixture, having scored 6 goals in Real Madrid's last 5 games against Athletic.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Marco Asensio (Muscle), Karim Benzema (Physical discomfort), Mariano Díaz (Physical discomfort) and Vinicius Júnior (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Ernesto Valverde has a number of injury concerns in his Athletic squad to contend with: Yeray Álvarez (Physical discomfort), Dani García (Knee), Ander Herrera (Hamstring), Iñigo Martínez (Muscle) and Jon Morcillo (Shoulder)
