ATH vs RM Dream11 Prediction for Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid La Liga Live Score Fantasy Football Tips & Dream11 Team

ATH vs RM Dream11: Marcelino’s Athletic Club come into this on the back of playing both of the high-flying Seville clubs Real Betis and Sevilla. The Basque side have been quite mediocre with a few brilliant highs early on, a couple of embarrassing lows but mainly middle-of-the-table form since Marcelino’s appointment last January. They now come up against a Real Madrid side that have cruised to the top-of-the-table with some vital wins in the last month or so – one of those biggest victories being a slender 1-0 win at home to Athletic at the start of December. Another low-scoring Los Blancos victory would appear a likely outcome for this one.

Who will win today’s ATH vs RM match?
- Real Madrid saw their 10-game winning run come to an end last time out, drawing 0-0 at home to Cadiz despite managing 36 efforts on goal. COVID-19 issues didn’t help, but Los Blancos certainly had their chances.
- Before the draw with Cadiz, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad in La Liga, while also beating Inter Milan in the Champions League.
The draw last time out meant Carlo Ancelotti’s men saw their lead at the top chopped to six points, and they will be desperate not to see their advantage reduced again here. - Though, given the number of absentees and the problems Athletic Club caused Real Madrid when these two sides met earlier this month, a draw may well be in the offing here.
Odds to Win:
The odds in favor of a win for Real Madrid in this clash is 2.36 as per bet365.
