Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid
Spanish Primera Division, 20h00
Athletic are a good team this season. They have kept Barca to a draw at home and are fighting for a place in the European Cups. The Basc side plays a physical type of football.
We will see how can Real Madrid cope with that, because it will be also a hostile environment at San Mames Stadium given the rivalry between the sides. At Osasuna the Merengues stumbled, but now they have Kaka back from injury. Real Madrid has won the last five meeting with Bilbao, so they have some good recent history.
Higuain will miss out through injury, but Ramos is back after suspension.
I tip Real to win it, at 3/5.
