Real Madrid carry real hope into this final day clash. They've picked up three wins from their last five outings and sit just behind the leaders on 83 points. A victory at the Bernabéu could still keep their title dreams alive depending on results elsewhere.
Athletic Club arrive in mixed shape. Their recent record shows a win against Alavés but losses to Valencia and Espanyol plus a draw with Celta Vigo. Sitting twelfth with 45 points they have little to play for except pride.
Kylian Mbappé remains the man to watch for the home side. His goals have driven much of their campaign and another strong display here feels likely. Athletic will lean on Nico Williams to create problems on the break but the visitors face a tough task on the road.
The match comes at the end of a long season. Real Madrid lost to Barcelona a couple of weeks back yet bounced back with clean sheets against Oviedo and Sevilla. That defensive solidity should help them control proceedings against a side that has struggled for consistency lately.
Expect Madrid to dominate possession and territory. Athletic have conceded in most away games and their form has dipped at the wrong time. A comfortable home win looks the most probable outcome though nothing is certain on the last weekend.
