Key facts

• Aurelien Tchouameni, Lucas Vazquez, Eden Hazard, Daniel Carvajal and David Alaba will not play for Real
• Real Madrid has won 4 of the last 5 against Athletic Bilbao

Real Madrid has never won easily in Bilbao. Athletic has a tough home stadium for any visiting team and that has been the case for Real as well. Real is three points behind Barcelona in the race for the championship and cannot afford any mistakes. Bilbao is playing for more than just points in this one since the team from Baskia has not much love for the team from the Spanish capital. This game will not see many goals for sure and even if Real fail to win, they will definitely not lose. Therefore, a great pick is a double chance on Real Madrid with under 4.5 goals for 1.63. If you want bigger odds, then just cut the goal margin to 3.5.
