At the moment, Madrid are second in the standing but are tied on points with league leaders Barcelona. They are only behind to inferior goal difference but they must concentrate on getting the points they need and hope their Catalan counterparts drop off so they can get on top of the table.

With the race at the top so tight, each point is important and Atletico know that a big win over Bilbao can help them maintain their place.
