Madrid knows how to face its opponents, especially Bilbao, so in my personal opinion there will be no difficulties for Madrid when facing Bilbao, Madrid always dominates in every match, Ancelotti knows how to provide an effective strategy, when facing Osasuna who passed by, Madrid conceded enough goals. fast in the 7th minute but finally the score changed to 2-4 at the end of the match with Madrid winning. The international break is nothing for the Madrid squad because the training they do is very consistent and disciplined.
Athletic Club Bilbao is not a problem to Real Madrid. Real Madrid won three and drew one in their last match against Bilbao, and Real Madrid won them in the first leg of the Laliga this season.
Real Madrid won three and drew two in their last five matches, while Bilbao also won three and drew one and lost one in their last five matches. This means that the match will be interesting to watch because I can see that Bilbao is trying to make it to Champions League next season, but that doesn’t mean that they can defeat Madrid because Barcelona has overtook Girona, therefore, Madrid will not afford to lose any match.
IMO, Bilbao was as strong as Atlético Madrid and Barcelona and never try to underestimate it since bilbao was able making other club struggled to beat it. It will be a difficult game for Real Madrid to win three points against bilbao considering that if bilbao is still in a good shape this time and I am feeling so confident of this given that If bilbao is still in good form and it can beat or draw against real madrid if real madrid was not carefully playing against bilbao soon. The good news is that the following match will be at home for Real Madrid and it is clear that Madrid will probably win soon against Atletico Bilbao consider playing at home is likely boosting the mentality from real madrid.
The only issue when Madrid faced a terrible situation was that it prevented the club from performing even better than in the first leg and rea; madrid was also very often in bottling the game against lower level club. Madrid has a poor defensive line, and this could be a crucial point for Bilbao to defeat Real Madrid away. The motivation to qualify for the UCL next season will most likely add strength to the Bilbao squad.
Bilbao is steadily showing consistent performance and it's going closer to the girona, who currently hold third place. Bilbao is now competing with Real Madrid for the UCL spot, which Bilbao will acquire if the club can consistently win games. Real Madrid faces another bad opponent, with the potential for a draw in the upcoming game and it will be so bad if madrid get draw against girona soon. The bookies gave Madrid 1.60, but I'm not really trusting it right now. The result of this match could be a draw if Madrid is not in good shape.
Bilbao is very consistent, having only lost one goal from the previous season. I strongly believe real madrid will win the game with narrow score. There will be no big margins to happen in this game. Real madrid will get another boost to the its performance.
