Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Live Stream & Betting Tips – Los Blancos to Win in La Liga Final Round
Real Madrid are looking to end a difficult trophyless season with a home win against Athletic Bilbao in their landmark 250th head-to-head clash. While Madrid have improved form with recent back-to-back wins, their opponents have struggled, securing just one point in the last three games. This match also marks the end of Ernesto Valverde’s tenure at Bilbao. Despite Bilbao’s inefficiency, they are likely to score, but Real are favorites at home. A win for Madrid and Both Teams To Score (BTTS) is the top recommendation.

Real Madrid hold a 125-79 advantage against Athletic Bilbao in terms of victories, 45 matches ending without a winner.
Turbulent Season for Los Blancos
Real Madrid are about to wrap up a disastrous season, failing to secure a single trophy for a second year in a row. They are bound to second place in La Liga ahead of the final round with 83 points from 37 matches.
Barcelona successfully defended La Liga title earlier this month by defeating Los Blancos 2-0 at Camp Nou. Alvaro Arbeloa’s side recorded just one shot on target here.
Real Madrid’s form has improved since, claiming back to back victories against Real Oviedo 2-0 and Sevilla 1-0. They were lucky with clean sheets here, allowing 23 shots total across these matches.
End of an Era for Bilbao with Valverde's Departure
Athletic Bilbao also had a poor run in La Liga this season, occupying 12th place with 45 points, poor efficiency being labelled as their biggest problem (scored just 41 goals). Also, this will be the last match for Ernesto Valverde in charge.
The Basque side grabbed just one point from their last three league games, suffering back to back defeats to Valencia 1-0 and Espanyol 2-0 in mid-May. They had around 1.00 xG in both of these games yet failed to find the net.
Athletic Bilbao had 2.50-0.15 expected goals and 27-3 shots in last weekend’s home clash against Celta Vigo and still had to settle for a 1-1 draw. Inaki Williams was their sole scorer.

Verdict
Athletic Bilbao posted around 4.50 xG in their last three league games and I like their chances of finding the net at Bernabeu but only as a consolation goal. A home win & BTTS is the best bet here.
