Prediction, Betting Odds And Head-To-Head Record
Atletico Madrid is currently placed 4th on the La Liga table, having beaten Rayo Vallecano in their last La Liga fixture after four consecutive losses. They go into the semi-final without their star forward Antoine Griezmann who will be out of any action until February citing muscle injury issues.
Athletic Bilbao on the other hand will not have Unai Nunez and Unai Vencedor in the 24-man squad for their semi-final clash against Simeone’s side as they have still not recovered from their respective injuries completely.
This semi-final will be a closely-fought competition but as per our predictions, it’s going to be Atletico Madrid who will proceed to the Spanish Super Cup final. There are possibilities of the game going beyond 90 minutes as well with Diego Simeone’s side eventually emerging victorious.
Prediction: Atletico Madrid 2- 1 Athletic Bilbao
Betting Odds: Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao- 9/4 (as per bet 365), 33/21 (as per 1x)
Head-To-Head: Los Colchoneros are the ones with a better record against the Basque outfit, having won 25 out of the total 44 meetings between the two Spanish sides. Marcelino’s men will have to improve upon their winning stats (12 victories against Atletico) when they face the La Liga defending champions this week. The two last came face-to-face last year in September in what transpired to be a 0-0 draw, devoid of the thrill that we expect to see in the semi-final clash on Thursday.
