Quick Preview
By: Corey | April 25th, 2008I found a little time between my class and my pickup game to write a quick preview for you. Squad lists are not out yet, because everyone takes their time in Spain, so I will have to do without that. But here we go!
Real Madrid vs. Atheltic Bilbao
Sunday 3pm eastern time Santiago Bernabeu Madrid

Ruud is back in training, with a view to making the bench for the clash with Bilbao. I am pretty sure Metz started training a week or so ago as well, although he probably wont make the bench for this one as he needs some time to regain fitness. With those two back, Schuster has a full sqaud to pick from, and I will say that if Balboa is not in the squad list it will be an utter tragedy. Not because of my man crush, but because he acquitted himself well with his minutes against Santander and deserves more time.
As for a lineup, I expect something fairly similar to what we saw in Santander, although Diarra may drop our for Guti/Baptista. I pray to the lord Robben is not started and Higuain partners Raul up front, such is the lack of anything Robben provides us on the field. The back four should remain the same and Casillas in goal. Look for Gago to be busy against Javi Martinez and need some help from Sneijder defensively.
Bilbao does not have a squad list out either, but based on their recent form its an obvious thing to say they are a dangerous team, who started clicking into gear during the second half of the campaign. Llorente could cause our defense problems as none of them seem to care much about jumping for high balls on set pieces or crosses. Exteberria always runs Madrid riot, but without Yeste Bilbao will have to rely on a young guy name Markel Susaeta for the creativity out wide.
I am expecting a 2-0 win for Real, with Raul and Robinho getting goals. Real is on a roll, and knows that they will have their destiny in their own hands with the title. Playing after Barca and Vilarreal doesnt hurt either, so the title could be staying in Madrid come Sunday. Everyone get out their to cheer on Los Blancos as they march towards another title! HALA MADRID HALA MADRID HALA MADRID!
