Real Madrid is set to visit Athletic Club on Wednesday for their latest La Liga match. Los Blancos will travel to Bilbao after overcoming Getafe 2-0 at the weekend.

Carlo Ancelotti's team faces Athletic Club following three successive league victories. Notably, if Real Madrid defeat Lehoiak and Barcelona fail to beat Mallorca on Tuesday, then Los Blancos will return to the top of La Liga.

Meanwhile, Athletic Club remains unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions.

Last time out, Ernesto Valverde's team, which is also involved in this year's UEFA Europa League competition, beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 in La Liga, with substitute Oihan Sancet scoring a brace.
