Atletico Madrid host Bilbao at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano tomorrow and it's really going to be a big match between 3rd and 4th. Should Atletico win the game, they will be atop Madrid and Barcelona temporarily but I don't think that Bilbao would easily grant them access. Both teams have been on a fine form of late so it's enough to say it's going to be a tough one but I think in terms of who might come out top, I give it to Atletico Madrid. They have met more stubborn sides and conquered them so it won't be hard for them to repeat the same thing when Bilbao pays them a visit to tomorrow.
If anything, the game might end in a draw if Diego Simeone's men don't take all three points because their h2h favored Bilbao as winners so definitely Atletico Madrid would want to change the narrative.
Both teams are on top of the La Liga standings, which are surely present an interesting match. Atletico are favorite for this time because they play at home and have better h2h. But I agree, Bilbao won't just give Atletico a win easily. Bilbao has good statistics where have never lost in the last 16 matches, while Atletico a bit worse than Bilbao, they have never lost in 13 last matches.
That is why the three teams will experience difficulty in those matches, because their opponents are very good in using different tactics to play which they will try their best to play their best to defeat some of the top teams that have the same points in this la Liga league table. Atletico Madrid is in the third position and they still have energy to make the winning continue which they will attack their opponent to make them to reduce strength before they will start scoring goals to achieve three points. We know that Barcelona will win their next match to remain in the most toping team in the la Liga league table but Real Betis vs Real Madrid, I don't think Real Betis will allow Real Madrid to defeat them in their home because that is what some teams don't allow even though they are weak team in competition.
