Athletic - Atletico: betting tip (cf 3.35) and bets on the Spanish Championship match

Current form

Athletic defended the fourth place last season without much difficulty and got a ticket to the Champions League. Ernesto Valverde probably faced the same challenges in the new season, but the Basques made too many mistakes at the start. The abundance of injuries, as well as the fight on two fronts, immediately pushed the red-whites out of the European Cup zone, but so far the situation has not become critical.

At the moment, Athletic is in eighth place in the table with 20 points and 11 points behind fourth-placed Atletico, the fifth line, which theoretically can also guarantee a ticket to the Champions League, is four points away. A few days ago, the Basques lost 0-3 at home to Real Madrid without much chance, suffering their seventh defeat of the season.

After the match with Atletico, the Basques will have to play PSG at home in the sixth round of the Champions League. On the international stage, things are also very difficult for the red and white - only 27th place in the table after five rounds and one victory in the asset. The match against Parisians can make the task as difficult as possible, but at the same time, Athletic is only two points behind the playoff zone.

Disqualifications and injuries

Eguliz, Prados, and Sannadi are injured.

Interesting betting trends

• Athletic have scored just one win in their last four matches.

Approximate line–up: Simon – Gorosabel, Paredes, Laporte, Berciche – Jauregisar, Galareta – Berenguer, Sunset, N. Williams - Guruseta.

Current form

Atletico definitely set itself the task of competing for the championship title – Diego Simeone's team was not inferior to either Real Madrid or Barcelona in terms of player selection. However, the mattresses frankly failed the starting segment and immediately allowed the competitors to break away. Recently, the situation has been stabilized and we have managed to catch up to the leaders, while the mattress pads probably still have championship ambitions.

A few days ago, Atletico had a great opportunity to close the gap on Barcelona and get close to the leaders, but they failed to take advantage of it. At Camp Nou, the mattresses lost 1-3 to the Catalans and remained fourth – the blue-garnet team is ahead by six points, five points more than the second Real Madrid, so far nothing has been lost.

Just a few days after the match with Athletic, the mattresses will have to face PSV in the sixth round of the Champions League. Obviously, Atletico expected to finish in the top eight and compete for a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals, but so far it occupies the 12th place in the table. However, there is still a round ahead, and the gap from the eighth Sporting is only two points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Jimenez, Baena, Llorente are injured.

Interesting betting trends
