THE PREDICTION
Athletic Club have kept four clean sheets in their last five home La Liga matches and Atletico Madrid have not conceded in seven of their last nine league games. With under 2.5 goals being scored in 13 of Atletico Madrid's last 15 away La Liga games, this has all the hallmarks of a low-scoring duel.
