ATH vs RM Dream 11 prediction: Athletic Bilbao will take on Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu, as both the sides aim to finish season on a high.
Athletic Bilbao will aim to create pressure on Valencia and eye for Europa League qualification for the next season as the side takes on Real Madrid in a significant La Liga clash.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, will hope to finish the season on a high. Their year has been full of struggles as a disappointing domestic campaign was followed by a round-of-16 upset at the hands of Ajax in the Champions League.
As Zinedine Zidane’s side prepares for the clash at Santiago Bernabeu, we take a look at the Dream 11 predictions for the game. For Real Madrid’s predicted line up, click here.
ATH vs RM Dream 11 prediction:
Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas
Zinedine Zidane has started with Keylor Navas in every game since he took charge at Real Madrid for a second time. I’ve selected Navas in my team because he has been decent on his return, and is a safer choice for this game – considering Bilbao has conceded 9 goals of their last five games.
Defence: Varane, Nacho, Carvajal, Alvarez, Yuri
Sergio Ramos and Alvario Odriozola sit out for this game, and so, I’ve selected Raphael Varane, Nacho and Carvajal from Real Madrid in my team.
Athletic Bilbao’s Yeray Alvarez and Yuri Berchiche find a place in my team, because Athletic Bilbao have a Europa qualification spot to play for. We can expect a tighter approach from the Garitano’s side.
Midfield: Modric, Isco, Muniain
Luka Modric and Isco could be the key factor for Real Madrid in this game. Both have been off-the-mark in the last few weeks and a home game against a comparatively tough side could be a motivation for the duo. Moreover, Real Madrid fans wouldn’t want the side to finish behind Atletico Madrid, which serves as an added motivation.
Muniain has been an important player for Athletic Bilbao this season, and could play a huge role in the game.
Forward: Benzema, Williams
Karim Benzema is the captain of my team due to his brilliant form in the last few weeks. The Real Madrid forward could overtake Cristiano Ronaldo’s league stats from the last season in the game against Bilbao.
Williams, meanwhile, has also been among the goals and could penetrate through Real Madrid’s defence, which has been considerably sloppy.
