Team News

Real Madrid
Athletic Club
  • Vinicius Junior will be given a rest this weekend - he is unable to feature thanks to a yellow card related one-match-ban.
  • Jude Bellingham finally returns from his suspension and will be key to play a part in attack.
  • Eduardo Camavinga will miss out with an ankle injury.
  • Aitor Paredes returns from his suspension and will be available for selection, despite him carrying a slight knock.
  • Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta is also a doubt with a knock. Mikel Vesga could be a cautionary replacement for him come Sunday.

Prediction

  • Real Madrid host Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu this Sunday for the biggest blockbuster fixture of Matchday 30. The reverse fixture was a dominating and clinical performance by Real Madrid on the first day of the season which saw Jude Bellingham score his first for the club. Athletic Club last won in this fixture back in 2022.
  • A victory for Los Blancos could see them stay eight points clear at the top with eight games to go. Some are arguing that the next Barcelona or Girona slip up could be the final verdict on the outcome of La Liga 2023/24. Athletic Club meanwhile are out of the title race on 56 points, but need to start pulling away from Atleti who are breathing down their necks, only a point behind.
  • Real Madrid may look to hold all the cards here, but without the explosiveness of Vini Jr in behind, Athletic Bilbao could take advantage.
