Teams Form

“Athletic Bilbao” is very inconsistent. After an excellent start to the championship with three wins, a “see-saw” of defeats, draws and victories began. “Real Madrid” could already have topped the table and tried to build a cushion over their closest pursuers, but three draws in a row did not allow them to do this.

“Athletic Bilbao” current form

Current 8th place in the league and 20 points. This is the team’s interim result after 14 rounds of the Spanish Primera. Home walls help the team, but it is difficult for the players to play against illustrious, titled opponents. There is a sense of constraint in their actions, which sometimes leads to simply lopsided scorelines. In Round 13 they conceded 4 goals against “Barcelona,” unable to counter their play.

“Real Madrid” current form

The team is performing excellently both in the domestic championship and on the international stage. In the Champions League so far only one defeat to “Liverpool,” 1:0 away. But in recent La Liga matches the accumulated fatigue of the players can be felt. Three draws in a row, and against not the strongest opponents. “Rayo Vallecano,” “Elche” and “Girona” managed to take points so necessary for “Real.”
