Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid Soccer Prediction

Details:

Athletic Bilbao finished last season in eighth place in La Liga and the team from the Basque region is aiming for a higher result and eventual placement in European competitions.

Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta is the biggest reinforcement for Bilbao, arriving from Majorca.

Athletic played 6 preparatory games and won only once, against Necaxa. They were defeated by Guadalajara and Celtic and drew against Manchester United, Eibar and Racing Santander.

Real Madrid remained short by as many as 10 points compared to Barcelona the previous season and had a turbulent transfer window.

Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio left the club, while Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, Brahim Diaz from Milan and Arda Guler from Fenerbahce arrived in Madrid, among others.

Real beat Milan and Manchester United in the pre-season while losing to Barcelona and Juventus.

Key facts

• Daniel Ceballos and Thibaut Courtois are out for Real
• Real won 3 of the last 5 against Bilbao with one loss and one draw

The first round of the new season in La Liga brings us the derby between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid. Every clash between these two teams carries a lot of tension, and it will be like that today. Real is certainly the favorite, but the question is how effective they can be this early in the season. That's why we suggest playing for a double chance on Real Madrid with less than 3.5 goals.
