Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Atletico Madrid is 6.73, compared to 6.06 for Athletic Club. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Atletico Madrid's highest-rated starter is Koke (6.90), while Athletic Club's best-rated player is Yeray (6.78).

Defensive Solidity

Atletico Madrid deploy 3 defenders rated — on average, against Athletic Club's 4-man backline averaging 6.78. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Atletico Madrid field 5 midfielders averaging 6.90, versus Athletic Club's 4 rated 6.20. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Atletico Madrid start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.82, compared to 2 for Athletic Club averaging 6.35. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 66% for Atletico Madrid and 84% for Athletic Club. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Atletico Madrid's starters have collected 1 yellow cards this season, compared to 0 for Athletic Club. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Atletico Madrid's starters average 1 league appearances each, versus 2 for Athletic Club. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
