Athletic Club VS Real Madrid

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of Real Madrid.
Athletic likely to use narrow midfield and wing-overlaps to exploit set-pieces and aerial duels; Real Madrid expected to control possession, overload wide channels and use quick transitions through forward runners; Real may target gaps behind fullbacks while Athletic aim to disrupt buildup and force turnovers.
Real Madrid's superior form, finishing efficiency and squad depth increase their win probability, while Athletic's home intensity and set-piece threat raise likelihood of at least one home goal and a competitive scoreline.
