Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao LIVE
LaLiga 2018-19
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu
Date: Sunday, April 21, 2019
Kick-off: 3:15pm GMT, today
Real Madrid will attempt to return to winning ways in LaLiga on Sunday afternoon as they host Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Third-place Los Blancos have endured a disappointing, trophy-less season and their attempts to keep the pressure on Atletico in second were dealt a blow last weekend as they were held to a 1-1 draw at nearby Leganes.
Bilbao, meanwhile, are still chasing a Europa League spot, currently trailing sixth-placed Valencia by three points, and have already proved themselves against the top sides this season, with just one defeat from their five league games against Barcelona, Real and Atletico.

Score prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Athletic Bilbao
Madrid's struggles in recent weeks have mainly come on the road, but they have won three out of three at home in the league since Zidane's return.
Bilbao will no doubt provide stiff opposition, having already beaten Atletico this season, and held both Real and Barca to draws, but may fall just short.
