Los Blancos want to keep up with Atlético in the race for La Liga's second place. Follow this clash with our match guide.

What has been Real Madrid and Athletic's form ahead of this match?

Real Madrid drew their last game against Leganés, which did not help them to keep up with Atlético in their race to finish second. Speaking about home games, Los Blancos have won all three previous games under Zidane, and they will surely try to keep that streak going when they welcome Athletic Club on Sunday.

Athletic has won four out of their last five, with that loss coming in a crucial match against Getafe. Their most recent clash saw the Basque side claim all the points with a 3-2 score against Rayo Vallecano. A key area to improve should be the team's defense, since they have only kept a clean sheet during that five-game span.

What is the current position of Real Madrid and Athletic in La Liga?

Real Madrid gets to this game in third place of the Spanish top flight. Los Blancos have won 19 of their previous 32 games, with four draws and a whopping nine losses. Zidane's men have conceded 38 goals in this competition, which has contributed to them setting a negative record for the single season with the most goals conceded in all comps.

Athletic Club makes it to this clash in La Liga's seventh place. The team has drawn 13 games this season, which is the second-highest draw tally in the Spanish top flight behind Valencia. The red-and-white side has won eleven games, while eight of their clashes have ended in defeat. The Lions are three points away from a spot in European competitions.
