Athletic v Atleti

Athletic Club look like an interesting home win pick against Atlético Madrid. San Mamés should be a major advantage, especially with Athletic coming off a confidence-boosting 2–0 victory over Celta Vigo. The Williams brothers and Álex Berenguer provide plenty of pace and creativity in attack, while Athletic’s intensity and pressing can make life difficult for Atlético. Simeone’s side have started well, but this is a much tougher away test against a team that can raise its level at home. With the home crowd behind them, Athletic Club to win offers attractive value.
