La Liga
Another experimental lineup and another defeat, the fourth in a row for Atletico in La Liga after a 2:3 loss away to Elche on Wednesday. It is a fact that they were down to ten men early on, but overall they had a very poor match, and only the two goals from Nico Gonzalez left a good impression for the entire game. La Liga has been put on the back burner due to the cup tournament and the Champions League. The disappointment from the lost final against Real Sociedad remains very high, and there is a match against Arsenal next week. However, Simeone may gradually bring back some of the starters now, as if he continues with the experiments, soon the team's fourth place could be at risk.
Athletic Bilbao managed to win 1:0 at home against Osasuna and still has a chance to pursue European participation, being three points away from the target. However, they have four losses in their last six matches in La Liga. They also lost their last two visits to Girona and Getafe. Overall, they have not been good away and have only won three out of their 15 away games since the start of the season.
Prediction: victory for Atletico or both teams to scoreAtletico Madrid needs to start winning again in La Liga after so much neglect and experimentation lately. Athletic Bilbao is not having a particularly good season, especially away. However, Atletico's defensive mistakes continue, and it wouldn't be surprising to see goals at both ends again.
