Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao live stream, prediction, team news, LaLiga preview

Real Madrid host Athletic Bilbao at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium for their next LaLiga fixture. The match is scheduled to be played on December 15, Tuesday, with kick-off at 2:30 AM IST (Wednesday). Let's have a look at Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao live stream, Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao team news, and other details on the game.

Real Madrid are currently 3rd in the LaLiga standings and will start the match brimming with confidence. After a topsy-turvy run of form in November, Zidane's men have come out all gun's blazing this month. Real Madrid started off December with wins against Sevilla in LaLiga and Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League. A win against the German outfit saw Los Blancos advance to the Champions League round of 16. Later on, the Los Blancos defeated then table toppers and city rivals Atletico Madrid with a convincing 2-0 scoreline last Saturday..

Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, are currently slotted at the 12th position in the LaLiga standings. Their last LaLiga fixture saw the Basque outfit play out a 2-2 draw against Valencia last Saturday. They have managed just four wins in 12 games with six losses. Consequently, Gaizka Garitano’s men have managed to register only 14 points from their games but will look to add more to their meagre tally as they travel to the capital.

Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao team news

Real Madrid will have to play without Luka Jovic and Eden Hazard who remain sidelined due to injuries. Casemiro's yellow card against Atletico last weekend will keep the Brazilian suspended for tonight’s game. Zidane's side will also remain doubtful over the availability of Martin Odegaard and Mariano Diaz.

Gaizka Garitano will have a relatively deeper squad to choose from, though. However, Peru Nolaskoain remains unavailable for Athletic Club while the availability of Mikel Vesga remains doubtful. If Vesga remains sidelined for the game, Unai Lopez is likely to deputize in his stead against Real Madrid
