Cards

Koke most bookable — Atlético's combative captain, 6 YC, facing Williams' directness

Atlético host Athletic Club at the Metropolitano — two evenly matched sides both with 10 points. Griezmann (18 goals, 58 SoT) leads Atlético while Nico Williams (16 goals, 54 SoT) is Athletic's explosion from wide. Koke (6 YC) is the card pick. Atlético corners (5.8), Griezmann SoT and Koke's booking are the main angles.

CornersMedium risk

Atlético most corners — 5.8 per game at the Metropolitano

Atlético averaged 5.8 corners per game in 2025/26 — equal to Athletic's 5.8. At the Metropolitano, the Colchonero crowd and Griezmann/Koke's set-piece expertise gives a marginal home corner advantage.

Shots on targetLow-medium risk

Antoine Griezmann 2+ shots on target

Griezmann had 18 goals and 58 SoT in 2025/26 — Atlético's reliable captain. At home against Athletic who conceded 44 goals, his movement and technical finishing make 2+ SoT a reliable home pick.

Yellow cardLow-medium risk

Koke to be booked

Koke accumulated 6 yellow cards in 2025/26 as Atlético's combative captain. At home facing Athletic's high-intensity pressing and Nico Williams' directness, his combative style carries consistent booking risk.
