Team News

Atletico
Athletic Club
  • Diego Godin, Filipe Luis and Jose Gimenez are all suspended for the home side, ensuring that Diego Simeone will have to name a make-shift defence.
  • As the club's B team are involved in play-offs this weekend, it is unlikely that youngsters will be involved, which could see Saul Niguez at centre-back.
  • Thomas Partey is likely to fill in once again at right-back, with Tiago getting a start in the centre of midfield alongside Gabi.
  • Inaki Williams is Ernesto Valverde's only real injury concern heading into this clash, with the young winger carrying a minor knee problem.
  • Markel Susaeta could deputise, but the Spaniard is likely to feature regardless due to the magnitude of the task at hand.
  • Mikel Balenziaga has been passed fit to start at left-back, with Aymeric Laporte returning at the heart of the defence after suspension.

Prediction

  • Atletico have lost just three home games in La Liga since September 2015, and they will not want to put in a sub-par performance in their last La Liga clash at Estadio Vicente Calderon before they move home.
  • The hosts, however, were beaten narrowly 1-0 by Villarreal recently, with a lack of defensive cover leaving the possibility open for Athletic Club to spoil their farewell party.
  • Los Leones have taken just one point from their last six in La Liga, meaning that they need to perform better than Real Sociedad and Villarreal to nail down their place in the Europa League definitively.

  • Well, I guess it's time to add Defender (left) to Saul Niguez's profile Whoscored.

  • Athletico Madrid szétbassza a Bilbaót :)

  • BTTS

  • Atleti to win their last Vicente Calderon game. Narrow win in my opinion - 1:0; 2:1

  • Bilbao win. Can't trust Sociedad. Have to take matters in thier hand
