THE PREDICTION
A Diego Costa-less Atletico were knocked out of the Copa del Rey to third division side Cornella in midweek; undoubtedly a disappointing result but the second Liga title under Diego Simeone is Atleti’s main objective this season. A last-minute Luis Suarez goal stole three points last week at Alaves to extend their win streak to four following a crucial 2-0 defeat away to Real Madrid. They begin this game two points clear at the top with two games in hand on Real in second. They come up against an Athletic side who lost 3-2 in midweek to Barcelona in Marcelino’s first game in charge following Gaizka Garitano’s sacking after a 1-0 victory at home to Osasuna. Athletic hadn’t been involved in a game with over four goals all season but did so on Wednesday. An Atletico victory and over 2.5 goals looks like a reasonable bet given that.
