Athletic Bilbao Team News & Preview
Athletic Bilbao host Real Madrid in La Liga this weekend and the home side will be looking to extend their fine run of form with a win here.
Bilbao are in superb form right now and the Basque side have won their last five games in all competitions. They will be full of confidence heading into this game, especially after their derby win over Real Sociedad last week.
The home side will be without the likes of Merino and San Jose due to injury and suspension respectively.
