Real Madrid are playing at home at the Santiago Bernabéu, and they come into this match with a mixed recent form, having won two, lost two, and drawn one of their last five games. Athletic Club, meanwhile, have had an inconsistent run too, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five, including a recent 1-1 draw. Looking at their head-to-head meetings, things have been very close, with both sides trading wins over the last few years, and many of those games have seen more than two goals, like the 3-1 and 2-1 scorelines.

This match looks like it will be tight and open, with both teams capable of scoring. Real Madrid have the home advantage and a slight edge in overall quality, but Athletic Club have shown they can cause problems. Given the recent form and the close history between these two, this match will likely end in a draw.
