La Liga
Real Madrid achieved a minimal success as a guest against Alaves in the last round, but was eliminated from the Champions League during the week, registering their fourth loss in regular time in their last five matches in all tournaments. Even the victories they have recently achieved have not come easily and have all been with just one goal difference. During the week, there were rumors that Ancelotti will leave the club after the cup final against Barcelona. Mbappe is now suspended, which is also not good news for the hosts.
One of the toughest teams in La Liga is coming as a guest. Fourth in the standings, Athletic Bilbao has only one loss in the last 22 rounds, which came with a 0-1 defeat as a guest against Atletico. Earlier in the season, they defeated Real Madrid at home with 2-1, and for the whole season Athletic has not suffered any loss by more than one goal difference. The only downside is that they played a day later during the week and on Thursday they had a match against Rangers, which they won and progressed in the Europa League.
Prediction: +1.5 AH for AthleticReal Madrid needs the victory, chasing the first place, but against the tough Athletic it will not be an easy task. Even if they achieve it, it is unlikely to be by more than one goal difference, but I wouldn't be surprised if Athletic takes a point from the match.
