This year’s Europa League Final between two of Spain’s primary La Liga clubs Atlético Madrid and Athletic Bilbao is a battle that will focus on the traditions of Spanish soccer. Having met one another in local matches for 100 times, the incoming Europa League Final match is the first time both teams will be facing each another in the Europa League.

Atlético Madrid is a clear favorite, having won the 2010 Europa League championship. It currently has 64 domestic wins against Bilbao’s 59. Madrid has a further advantage in form standings, with 4 wins and 2 draws as opposed to Bilbao’s 2 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw, taken from each team’s last 6 matches with other teams.
