Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid 22.12.2021
Real Madrid were pegged back by Cadiz last time out, but Carlo Ancelotti’s men have another chance to consolidate on their top spot in the La Liga. The result against Cadiz was not a surprise, as the Los Blancos are missing the services of a few key players due to illness.
Meanwhile, Bilbao got only their fifth win of the season in their last match against Betis and that victory will provide a shot in the arm for them.
However, Madrid has dominated the H2H meetings between them and they are likely to go all out so as not to see their lead diminish further. Therefore, we are backing a first-half draw.
