However, their first game back after the international break is against Athletic Bilbao.
Real Madrid will go into the game without a number of their regulars including Vinicius Junior who will serve a one match ban for receiving his fifth yellow card in the game against Osasuna.Luckily, Carlo Ancelotti can count on Jude Bellingham who will return from suspension.
Bilbao have a few injuries of their own, but they do have a bulk of their regulars available for the game against the leaders.

Prediction 2: Over 2.5 Goals
Athletic Bilbao are expected to approach the match in a very conservative way keeping things tight at the back while looking for their chances on the break. However, Real Madrid are known to consistently press and attack oppositions who prefer to play in a defensive low block which creates loads of goalscoring chances more often than not. In addition, three of Real Madrid’s last five games returned at least three total goals including four scored in their last outing at Osasuna. Thus, we predict that there will be no less than three total goals scored in this match.

Prediction 3: Over 8.5 Corners
Real has a reputation for pressing and putting the opposition backline under immense pressure. Although they seem to have a clear path to yet another title, they still have to fight till the very end and Bilbao are one of the toughest teams in the league. They are deadly on the counter and their diagonal passes can cause trouble for any team. Both sides with attack. Bilbao will likey defend with a low block and that could lead to a high corner count.Real Madrid will subject them to enormous pressure and surely, Ernesto Valverde’s team will have a lot of defending to do and that could create corner kicks. Therefore, we suggest that you bet on at least 8 corners to be recorded in this match as our final Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao prediction.
