Prediction: 2-1
Athletic Bilbao
A spot in the Champions League will be at stake when Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao go head to head at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday evening. Los Rojiblancos failed to impress in a 2-0 loss at Alaves, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Lions in front of home fans. Alvaro Morata should recover in time to face Athletic, while towering defender Stefan Savic serves a one-game ban. The good news for the hosts is that Marcos Llorente is back from suspension.
The Basques, on the other hand, are three points behind the Champions League berth. As Inaki Williams and Co. are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s showdown, we are tempted to put our money on over 2.5 goals. Oscar De Marcos misses out through suspension, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team this time out.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
