Prediction: 1-1
Athletic Bilbao
Real Madrid will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves when they take on Athletic Bilbao at their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos are desperate to melt Barcelona’s advantage in the La Liga standings and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at Ernesto Valverde’s troops. With top scorer Kylian Mbappe missing out through suspension, Brahim Diaz should be recalled to the starting XI. Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is back from the Champions League ban.
The Lions, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Rayo Vallecano 3-1 on Matchday 31. Athletic Bilbao are eager to stay in the Champions League berth and given Mbappe’s suspension, we predict that the Basques are going to grab something from Sunday’s showdown. Oihan Sancet is pushing for a start after scoring a brace in the last league match, while defender Yuri Berchiche remains in the treatment room.
