In what promises to be a pivotal La Liga encounter, Atletico Madrid is set to face Athletic Bilbao at the iconic Wanda Metropolitano stadium on Friday.

Both teams are locked in a battle for a top-four finish, making this matchup even more significant in the context of their respective seasons.

Atletico Madrid, led by the astute Diego Simeone, has been a force to be reckoned with in recent years.

However, they are coming off the back of two consecutive defeats, including a surprising 2-0 loss to Alaves in their most recent La Liga outing.

Despite this setback, Atletico's home form remains formidable, with an impressive record of 33 undefeated games in their last 35 home encounters across all competitions.

Fans can expect another intense and high-scoring affair at the Wanda Metropolitano, especially considering that there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Atletico's last six home games.

On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao has been enjoying a solid season in La Liga and is currently closing in on fourth place, which would secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League.

They recently clinched the King's Cup title after a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Mallorca in the final.

However, their away form leaves something to be desired, with just one win in their last six away league games.

Nevertheless, Athletic Bilbao will be determined to put up a strong performance and secure a positive result against Atletico Madrid.

In terms of head-to-head encounters, Atletico Madrid has struggled against Athletic Bilbao in recent meetings, losing four out of their last six encounters across all competitions.

However, Simeone's side will be eager to turn the tide and claim victory in this crucial matchup.

Atletico Madrid will be without the services of Memphis Depay and Vitolo, while Stefan Savic is suspended and Thomas Lemar remains a doubt due to injury.

Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, will miss Oscar De Marcos due to suspension, with Yuri Berchiche facing a late fitness assessment.

Forebet predicts a win for Atletico Madrid with over 2.5 goals scored, and both teams finding the net. With so much at stake, this matchup is sure to provide plenty of excitement and drama for fans of both teams.
