Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's every chance of this match serving up goalmouth entertainment, but don't count on a record-breaker. Under 3.5 goals is what we're predicting, meaning there will be no more than 3 goals scored during 90 mins. The best odds on that outcome are just below, followed by recent form statistics and head-to-head (H2H) records.

Goal Statistics

Atletico de Madrid's defensive record is very strong, Diego Simeone's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive La Liga matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Athletic Bilbao makes sense in this context.
