REAL MADRID VS ATHLETIC BILBAO LATEST LA LIGA BETTING TIPS

We're getting down to the wire in La Liga and it looks to be a straight-up duel between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The whispers surrounding the potential £120,000,000 bid for Lionel Messi haven't gone away and that may offer a bit of controversy over the summer as Real continue their priority of being linked with the worlds best players.
 
The Merengues are heavily-favoured today to take the victory over Athletic Bilbao and William Hill are pricing Real as short as 1/9. Bilbao are trading at a lengthy 20/1 to take the victory while the draw is trading at 15/2. Clearly the bookmakers expect a Real romp. 

The favoured correct score margin seems to be 3-0 to Real Madrid and that's priced at 13/2. A 2-0 victory rewards at 15/2 while 2-1 to Real Madrid pays out at a 17/2 margin. 3-1 pays out at 8/1 while a 4-0 result is also available at 17/2. 
A 1-1 draw pays 12/1 and a 2-2 draw is a lengthy 20/1. 
Cristiano Ronaldo is ridiculously-priced at 2/5 to score a goal at any point in the match. That is officially the lowest odds on an anytime goalscorer I have seen in my entire life. Ronaldo is available at a slim 2/1 to score first or last and 2/1 to score two or more goals at any point. He's short-priced at 8/1 to get a hat-trick today and I think the only thing that could keep that from happening is getting subbed-off early. 
Gonzalo Higuain is listed at 1/2 anytime and 9/4 to score first or last. Karim Benzema is trading at 10/3 to score first or last and 4/5 to hit the back of the net at anytime. Kaka is at 5/4 to score anytime. 
For Bilbao, they'll be looking to Fernando Llorente to score with a 10/3 anytime price. He's 9/1 first or last and 14/1 to hit two or more. Iker Muniain is at 5/1 anytime and trades alongside Gaizka Toquero and Markel Susaeta. 
If you think Real Madrid are really going to run away with this one, then you should check out the handicap market. You'll find Real Madrid (-5.0) at a 12/1 price. A (-4.0) margin will pay out at 6/1. Madrid (-3.0) trades at a 13/5 price. 
Over 4.5 goals in the match pays out at  7/4 and thats as good a bet as any- particularly if you think Real will really be on song today. I can see Bilbao sneaking one or even two if Real start to run away with things. 
If you're a die-hard Bilbao fan, you've got yourself a great price at 20/1, but it really looks like a question of "how many?" for Real Madrid. I think the only thing working against you if you think Real will put up a big total is some of their key players getting subbed off early. If you see an aggressive-looking line-up when the team-sheets come out then I would say that a healthy Madrid victory is your best bet.
