Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction 10 March 2021

Title contenders Atletico will take on middle-level Athletic as part of the eighteenth game day of La Liga.

At the moment, Atletico lead the peloton with 59 points and a goal difference of 46:17. A month ago, the gap between the Mattress Makers and competitors was much greater. However, after the games with Granada (2:1), Levante (1:1, 0:2), Villarreal (2:0) and Real Madrid (1:1) it shortened to three points.

Athletic will surely spend the rest of the season relaxed, as they have earned 33 points in twenty-five games, which makes them eighth. It is noteworthy that the Basques are not inferior to their opponents for five rounds in a row. As a result, wins 4:0 for Cadiz and 2 1 for Granada, as well as draws 1:1 with Valencia, 1:1 with Villarreal and 1:1 with Levante.

That is why Atletico, although they are in the rank of favorites, but the probability of their success is by no means one hundred percent. In our opinion, the match will still be held with the hosts' advantage and it will turn out to be poor in terms of goals scored.
