Competition: La Liga
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 6/5 @ 888sport
In a contest that could see chances come thick and fast in midweek, Atletico Madrid will host Athletic Bilbao in the capital on Wednesday evening.
Starting with the hosts, eventually having to settle for a point in Sunday’s derby showdown, Atletico Madrid have struggled with their consistency of late. In their 25 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded 18 wins, five draws and two defeats, scoring 48 and conceding 17 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 59, the Champions League outfit hold a three-point buffer at the top of the table and holding a game in hand over the teams chasing them. However, as for their recent run of results, Atletico had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid last weekend and they have now managed to win just one of their last five matchups across all formats. Showing some recent issues at the back, it should also be noted that Wednesday’s hosts have seen seven of their last nine La Liga matchups finish with both teams finding the net.
As for the visitors, along with extending on their Copa del Rey adventure earlier in the month, Athletic Bilbao do find themselves enjoying a recent purple patch. In their 25 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, six draws and 10 defeats, scoring 36 and conceding 29 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 33, they open the midweek fixtures sat eighth in the table and still dreaming of a late charge for the European spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 victory against Granada, Bilbao are unbeaten in each of their last eight straight matchups across all formats, a run that stems back to the end of January. It should be noted, with each of their last four contests on the bounce finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome in midweek.
