Athletic Bilbao to Win

Reason for tip

Athletic Club won 16 of their 19 home matches last season, including a 3-1 victory over Atletico. They finished just eight points shy of the visitors in the race for fourth last term, so back them to see off an Atletico Madrid side who have made a mixed start to the campaign.

Athletic can lay down a marker

Athletic Bilbao were beaten to fourth by Atletico Madrid last season and a Champions League place is their target for the coming campaign. Keeping Nico Williams was a signal of intent but they have made a mixed start with four points from three games. However, Saturday offers a chance to really show what they’re capable of.

Atletico have won just one of their first three and they drew 0-0 at home to Espanyol in midweek. The visitors met Athletic four times last season, losing three meetings including both visits to San Mames.

Athletic won 16 of their 19 home league games last season and they can recreate that incredible form in front of their own fans. Atletico are having some teething issues despite good summer moves, so the hosts are great value for the points.
