Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid prediction
Bilbao's league form has started to pick up a little recently, with Ernesto Valverde's side having won two of their last three domestic games, including a 0-2 triumph at Levante on Saturday.
Former Barcelona boss Valverde would love get one over on Real Madrid here, but that is easier said than done against the La Liga giants.
There are some rumblings that Xavi Alonso's job is in danger due to some fractious relationships with his players, namely Vinicius Junior, but they remain a hugely dangerous side.
They lost top spot in the league after drawing 1-1 with Girona on the weekend, but in Kylian Mbappe they possess a bona fide match winner on any given day. The Frenchman has been scoring goals at an astonishing rate and can be backed to find the net here, too.
Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid tip: Kylian Mbappe to score anytime
