Prediction: 1-0
Athletic Bilbao
Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club face each other in a highly-anticipated La Liga clash at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. Los Rojiblancos aim to retain top position in the standings, but the Lions should not be written off just yet. Thanks to Luis Suarez’s late goal Atletico Madrid defeated ten-man Alaves at the weekend, and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Athletic. Stefan Savic returns from suspension, with Joao Felix pushing for a start.
The Basques, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Elche on Matchday 18. Athletic Club quickly bounced back from the 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad, but they face an uphill task in the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano clash. Even though boss Gaizka Garitano can count on key players for Saturday’s clash, home win should be considered as Diego Simeone’s troops are enjoying a very successful season.
Highlighted Player (Luis Suarez):
Luis Suarez is a controversial footballer who plays for La Liga side Barcelona as a striker. The Uruguayan forward moved to Europe in 2006, signing a deal with Groningen. After scoring 10 goals in 27 league appearances for the club in the 2006/2007 Eredivisie campaign, he joined Ajax at the end of the season. The prolific striker scored no less than 81 goals in 110 appearances for Ajax and, as a result, Liverpool chiefs decided to sign him on 31 January 2011.
Suarez became the club’s most expensive signing and he was producing thrilling performances with the Anfield outfit between 2011 and 2014. Liverpool were on the verge of winning the 2013/2014 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and they eventually finished the season in second place in the standings.
In 2014 Suarez joined Barcelona and he was the top scorer in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign. He won the 2013/2014 Premier League Golden Boot as well and in 2011 he clinched the Copa America trophy with Uruguay.
