Real Madrid vs Ath Bilbao Prediction & Betting Tips (31 March)

Big favorite now to win La Liga, Real Madrid has still seen FC Barcelona exerting distant pressure for several weeks. With an 8-point lead over the Blaugrana at the start of today, the Merengue could have seen their rivals return to 5 points in the event of success the day before against Las Palmas. Before the international break, the players from the capital qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the expense of Leipzig but without shining 2-1 in the two matches and they will play Man City in a remake of the last four of the last year. Also before the break, Bellingham and his teammates beat Osasuna in the Basque Country 2-4 following their victory at home against Celta Vigo 4-0. Finally, since the first day and the victory won at San Mames against Bilbao 0-2, the RMA has only lost one match in 29 days.

A perfect transition to talk about this great Bilbao team which took from 4th place to the detriment of Atlético Madrid in the race for the next Champions League. Indeed, the Athletic Club now has a small point lead over the Colchoneros before this 30th day. As a reminder, the Basques defeated this same Atlético team in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey without conceding a goal in the two matches, winning 4-0 on aggregate. In La Liga, Athletic Club remains undefeated for three days, including two victories in a row obtained before the break on the Las Palmas field 0-2 and for the reception of Deportivo Alaves 2-0.

Potential blow for Real Madrid who saw their midfielder Camavinga go out injured against Chile on Tuesday evening with France. Its presence is therefore very uncertain. Having previously returned from injury to group training, Courtois finally relapsed and will now be OUT for the end of the season, the same for Alaba. Note that Eder Militao is expected to return to competition soon and Vinicius Jr (12 goals, 4 assists in La Liga), captain with Brazil this week against Spain, will serve a one-match suspension this evening (accumulation of cards yellow). The top scorer in La Liga, Jude Bellingham (16 goals, 3 goals) will probably be present like Joselu (8 goals) and another Brazilian international, Rodrygo (8 goals, 5 goals).

PSG, Berchiche and Ander Herrera are injured and forced to give up their turn for this shock. Let us also note the strong uncertainty surrounding Muniain (who has become a replacement) who is training separately from the group in order to be 100% operational. In terms of good news, the important central defender Paredes will return from suspension (accumulation of yellow cards). For this meeting, Valverde (coach) will be able to count on his main offensive threats such as the scorer Guruzeta (13 goals, 3 assists in La Liga), the Williams brothers, Inaki (9 goals, 3 assists) and Nico (3 achievements, 8 cakes in the championship) or Alex Berenguer (6 goals, 2 assists).
