Real Madrid vs. Athletic Bilbao: Preview, recent form, upcoming fixtures

Real Madrid (Last 5 La Liga matches: WWWDD) will look for its first win in three after dropping points against Valencia last weekend before Wednesday’s El Clásico. Los Blancos have drawn Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, and certainly have the more difficult draw than their Catalan counterparts, who play Napoli. Another slip up here and things may start to get intense for Real Madrid.

Athletic Bilbao (Last 5 La Liga matches: WWW)LD has been very good this season, sitting only two points out of Spain’s fourth UCL spot. Bilbao last got a point in the Bernabéu in 2018 after a 1-1 draw, before losing 3-0 in the spring rematch earlier this year.

Upcoming fixtures

Real Madrid, Saturday, Jan. 4 at Getafe (La Liga); Wednesday, Jan. 8 at Valencia (Spanish Supercopa)

Athletic Bilbao, Friday, Jan. 3 at Sevilla (La Liga)
