On Saturday evening, Atletico Madrid host Athletic Bilbao at the Wanda Metropolitano in La Liga, as the visitors look to move away from the relegation spots.

Atletico Madrid are unbeaten in eight La Liga games heading into this clash, although four of those unbeaten games have finished in draws. The home side’s recent league games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five outings.

Last time out in La Liga, Diego Simeone’s team were held to a 1-1 draw at Leganes. The draw leaves the team from the Spanish capital fourth in the table.

Atletico have won four of their last five league games at the Wanda Metropolitano. Los Rojiblancos have also lost just one of their last 26 home games in La Liga.

Atletico’s recent home games in La Liga have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five games on home soil.

Athletic Bilbao have made a poor start to their La Liga campaign and are currently 17th place in the Spanish top-flight table, just one point clear of the relegation zone.

Athletic have failed to win in their last ten league games. In fact, their last victory in La Liga was on the opening weekend against Leganes. However, seven of their ten winless games have finished in draws.

Last time out the visitors suffered a 1-0 defeat at Espanyol. The match was the fourth straight Athletic game that had produced under 2.5 goals in La Liga.
