La Liga
After the crazy match as a guest at Barcelona for the cup and the spectacular 4:4, Atletico continues the battle in the championship, where it is only one point away from the top. At home, Atletico continues undefeated this season in La Liga. They drew 1:1 with Celta in their last home game, but played almost the entire match with one man less. Once again this season, Simeone showed that he has an equal and sufficiently expanded squad, and the substitutions regularly pay off and lead to good results.
Atletico Bilbao has not lost in 16 consecutive roundsAtletico Bilbao is fourth and five points behind their opponent. They recorded their most emphatic victory last week with a 7:1 at home against Valladolid, who were left with 10 men. This extended their streak to 16 consecutive matches without a loss in La Liga. They last did not lose in 17 consecutive rounds back in 1930. A year ago, they beat Atletico here in the cup tournament, but then lost their visit in the championship. Bilbao has not won as a guest at Atletico in La Liga since 2011, with only two draws and 11 losses in 13 visits since then.
Prediction: Atletico Madrid to winAtletico Madrid looks like a team that can finally hand Atletico Bilbao a loss in the championship. I believe that after 16 rounds without defeat, Atletico will once again lose in this traditionally difficult visit.
