The season series in the past has been very lopsided between the teams. Atletico has controlled the series and has not really looked bad at all. What else is going to make a difference is the fact that Athletic has not really looked dominate in their games and even in some of the wins barely were able to pull out the win in what really looked like a struggle to score outside of the Valladolid game. Look for Atletico to control the game here and bring home the win on the over as they may be the only team doing the scoring in the game.
