La Liga Betting Preview: Atlético Madrid vs Athletic Club

Fourth-placed Atlético Madrid host Athletic Club at Riyadh Air Metropolitano, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Saturday 25 April.

At this price, Atletico Madrid look like a value bet, despite likely rotating ahead of their Champions League clash with Arsenal on Wednesday. Athletic Club’s away form is poor and they are without key midfielder Mikel Jauregizar following his red card against Osasuna. The +116 available on a home win looks like a price worth taking.

Atlético Madrid have lost their last four games. On their travels, they recently suffered a 3-2 defeat against Elche at Estadio Martínez Valero. Diego Simeone's men enjoyed just 28% possession and had three shots on target, with Nico Gonzalez scoring both of the goals.

Athletic Club have experienced back-to-back La Liga away losses. In their previous league match, they beat Osasuna at home, winning 1-0 at San Mamés. The Basque Country side were restricted to just 35% possession and had two shots on goal, with Gorka Guruzeta scoring the winner in the 16th minute.

Head-to-Head Statistics
