General match analysis
Atlético Madrid sit 4th and remain unbeaten after three matches, while Athletic have a record of 1 win and 2 defeats. The visitors have won 3 of their last 5 matches, scoring 10 goals during that run and averaging 2 points per game, whereas the hosts have lost 4 of their last 5 fixtures, conceding 9 goals. Atlético score an average of 3 goals per away match with a 25% conversion rate, while Athletic concede as many as 3 goals per home game and are yet to keep a clean sheet. Bilbao do create plenty of chances, averaging 18 shots and recording an xG of 2.30, so they could find the net, but their current defensive vulnerability clearly increases the likelihood of the more clinical visitors prevailing. Atlético’s advantage is further underlined by their perfect away record so far: a 100% win rate and a positive goal difference of +2.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?

Athletic average 2.0 goals at home, generate an xG of 1.88 and register 5.0 shots on target per match, while Atlético’s defense allows opponents an xG of 2.05. However, in their last five matches, Bilbao have reduced their average goals scored to 0.8, with BTTS occurring in only 40% of their games, which clearly limits confidence in the pick. At the same time, the hosts conceded 1.8 goals per match during this period, while Atlético scored 2.0 goals and recorded BTTS in 80% of their appearances. The combination of the visitors’ highly vulnerable defense and Atlético’s consistent attacking efficiency slightly favors BTTS - Yes.
