Real Madrid host Athletic Bilbao in La Liga on Tuesday. Los Blancos have hit top form and with Karim Benzema leading the line, they should be too strong at Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano.

Real Madrid Form


Real Madrid are three points off the top of La Liga. They are full of confidence after a 1-0 win at Sevilla where they created 1.70 expected goals and allowed just 0.53.

Zinedine Zidane's side reached the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds after a 2-0 home win against Borussia Monchengladbach. Karim Benzema headed home both goals in the first half as Los Blancos cruised to victory.

Real Madrid produced an important 2-0 home win against Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Casemiro opened the scoring with a 63rd minute own goal giving them some breathing room. 

Real Madrid Team News


Midfielder Casemiro is suspended which should see Federico Valverde anchor the midfield.

Attackers Eden Hazard, Martin Ødegaard and Mariano are all doubtful with striker Luka Jovic out injured.

Athletic Bilbao Form


Athletic Bilbao have been slipping down the table after a 4-0 home win against Real Betis. Ander Capa, Iker Muniain and Alex Berenguer scored after an early own goal with Bilbao managing 2.75-0.39 expected goals despite having 40% possession.

Gaizka Garitano’s side drew 1-1 at Getafe in a match with few chances. The Basque club then lost 2-0 at home against Celta Vigo after looking toothless in attack.

Athletic Bilbao’s last match was a 2-2 draw at Valencia. Goals to Asier Villalibre and Raúl García established a 2-1 lead but they couldn’t hold on.

Centre-back Peru Nolaskoain remains out injured.

Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Match Up
