Prediction: 1-1
Real Madrid
All eyes will be on Estadio San Mames when Athletic Club and Real Madrid face each other in the La Liga derby. The Lions aim to bounce back from a heart-breaking loss to Real Sociedad, but they will have to do it without suspended defender Yeray Alvarez, who was sent off in the Basque derby. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, los Blancos were beaten by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final at the weekend. Carlo Ancelotti’s troops are eager to stay in the title race, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Karim Benzema and Co. Since Athletic are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on draw. All David Alaba, Lucas Vazquez, and Aurelien Tchouameni are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Dani Garcia):
After spending his youth career at Real Sociedad, Dani Garcia made his senior debut for Alicante B. He made 29 appearances for the first team as well and in 2011 the Spanish midfielder joined Getafe B.

The Eibar footballer plays as a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder as well. Dani Garcia was born in Zumarraga, Spain on 24 May, 1990.
Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.

The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
