- Real Madrid haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Athletic Club have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Athletic Club form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Athletic Club so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Visiting Club has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
Club has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Valencia for a La Liga game that ended a draw (2-2). A loss against Celta de Vigo was the result prior to that, in a home game.
The draw against Valencia came from a losing position. The Club manager G. Garitano Aguirre brought on Raúl García as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
A new game in only three days for Athletic Club, the La Liga home match versus Huesca. Busy days.

Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Madrid, four draws and zero wins for Athletic Club. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
