Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Atletico Madrid to win11/8Both teams arrive in good form and carrying a threat. The visitors, however, boast more quality and know-how in tight contests, meaning Atletico Madrid are well worth backing at 11/8 to take home all three points.
Alex Baena to score anytime10/3The Spaniard has had a magnificent start to the season, scoring three times and assisting once. Baena netted a brace last time out in Atletico’s 3-1 win over Sevilla and looks primed to bag again.

How Athletic Club go into the game

Athletic won 2-0 at Celta last time out, a solid away display. San Mames is a fortress and they will fancy their chances against Atletico.

Well-drilled and dangerous, Athletic are eyeing another European push. Home advantage in a big game is a real edge.

How Atletico Madrid go into the game
