Atleti are the defending champions of the competition, and they are definitely going after another title. They have made a great start to this new campaign, and have been on a great run at home for quite some time. They easily are the favorites this weekend, against Bilbao, over whom they have a great h2h record.

Diego Simeone’s men had posted 86 points on the board, en route to the title the last season, and they had lost just four times all through the campaign. In the process, they had scored the second-most number of goals, and as always, they had conceded the least as well.

And this time around, they have been on an unbeaten run so far, and have produced several clutch moments – which has just added to their momentum.

In the meantime, Bilbao had to settle for a tenth-place finish the last season, and had won just 11 times in total all through the campaign. In fact, they were trailing by 40 points below the champions at the end of the season.

Going on, they have been on a poor streak on the road for quite some time, and have been conceding in plenty. And most importantly, they have a worrying h2h record against this foe over the years.

By the looks of things, expect a win for Atletico Madrid this Saturday.

马竞是这项赛事的卫冕冠军，他们肯定会追求另一个冠军。他们在这场新运动中有了一个很好的开端，而且在国内也有很长一段时间了。他们很容易成为这个周末的热门，对阵毕尔巴鄂，他们有一个伟大的h2h记录。

迭戈·西蒙尼的球队上赛季在通往冠军的道路上取得了86分，而整个赛季他们只输了四次。在这个过程中，他们进了第二多的球，和往常一样，他们失球最少。

而这一次，他们已经取得了迄今为止的不败战绩，并创造了几个关键时刻——这恰好增加了他们的势头。

与此同时，毕尔巴鄂在上个赛季结束时只得到了第十名，整个赛季总共只赢得了11次胜利。事实上，在赛季结束时，他们还落后冠军40分。

一直以来，他们在路上的表现都很糟糕，并且有很多的退让。最重要的是，他们多年来对这个敌人有一个令人担忧的h2h记录。

从目前的情况来看，马德里竞技有望在本周六获胜。
