THE PREDICTION
Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid have had the most Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid fortnight of all time. A home defeat to Alaves and a 2-0 loss against Shakhtar Donetsk meant Madrid’s title hopes as well as Champions League hopes were on the verge of being crushed. Back-to-back league victories against Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, sandwiching a brilliant performance and win against Borussia Monchengladbach, means the current Spanish champions have done it again; won when it mattered most. They consistently underwhelm but consistently win. They come up against a very inconsistent Athletic side. The Basque outfit believed they’d turned the corner with a 4-0 victory at home to Betis but they haven’t won since. In those three games since, they’ve been the better side in two draws away to Getafe and Valencia but outplayed by a resurgent Celta. Real will expect to win this with no drama given Athletic’s propensity for games with over 2.5 goals in them so a Real win and over 2.5 goals seems reasonable.
