Athletic Club vs Atlético Madrid prediction

THE FORECAST

Athletic Club starts the season poorly with already 3 goals conceded in 1 match, a heavy injury burden (7 players out including Nico Williams) and a new coach in Terzic who has not yet implemented a stable playing style. Atletico Madrid, with Grimaldo as reinforcement and a solid defensive foundation (1 clean sheet, only 1 goal conceded), shows better form and organization despite the absence of Barrios, Llorente and Sorloth. The temperature of almost 38°C can slow down Atletico's intensive pressing somewhat, but Athletic lacks the quality in depth to take full advantage of it.
