Atletico Madrid at Athletic Bilbao 6/14/2020 - Bundesliga Picks & Predictions

The La Liga returned and this is a really heavy match-up on Sunday, when Athletic Bilbao will play host to Atletico Madrid. Bilbao are having a pretty mediocre season so far but are still chasing a top-seven finish, while Atletico Madrid would love to move up in the standings and get a Champions League ticket for next season.

Athletic Bilbao (9-8-10) are coming off a pretty mediocre season so far, but they did win back to back matches right before the break, scoring five goals and conceding just one. Even so, they have now lost three of their last five matches in all competitions. Bilbao are sitting at the 10th spot of the league table with 37 points, five behind Valencia and the top-seven spots that lead to the Europa League next season. They are traditionally strong at home (7-3-3), where they have conceded just seven goals so far.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid (11-4-12) played a really tough match in the Champions League round of 16, where they were eliminated by Liverpool. However, they have not lost any of their last seven matches in all competitions, but kept just two clean sheets in that span. Atletico Madrid are sitting at the 6th spot of the league table with 45 points, three ahead of Valencia and one behind Getafe and Real Sociedad. Atletico Madrid have the most away draws this season (3-3-7), with four of their last five matches ending as ties.
