Atletico Madrid (10-2-2, 32 points) will put their unbeaten streak on the line against Athletic Bilbao (6-5-3, 21 points) in a 2015-2016 La Liga battle at the Vicente Calderón Stadium this Sunday, December 13.
Los Colchoneros is coming off a 2-0 thrashing of Granada last Saturday at the Estadio Los Carmenes for the team's fourth straight win, as reported by Goal.
Defender Diego Godin and Forward Antoine Griezmann provided the two goals for Diego Simeone's side at the 20th and 76th minutes respectively to pull off their fifth win in their last six matches.
Atleti is now running second in the league table, only two points behind league leader Barcelona as they extended their unbeaten run to eight games.
Meanwhile, Athletic Club was hampered by lowly team Malaga with a goalless draw on Sunday at their home field of San Mamés Stadium, via SkySports.
The draw kept Ernesto Valverde's squad at the seventh spot in the league table only a point behind Deportivo La Coruna and also a point above Valencia and Eibar.
Los Leones had only lost once in their last nine games to stay in the hunt for this season's Spanish top flight trophy.
While Bilbao is playing well in their last several games, Atleti is performing better as Griezmann continues to be in top form for the capital city squad.
The prediction is a close win for Atletico Madrid, 2-1.
