Barcelona – Athletic Bilbao, Prediction – La Liga

| Barcelona have 7 wins and 2 draws from the last 9 games in the league

⚽ Barça got into a good rhythm

Barcelona will host Athletic Bilbao, from which they accumulated quite bad memories in the last match between them for the Super Cup. Athletic won 3-2 after extra time and grabbed the trophy. However, Barça’s form is currently strong. The program is such that the Catalans had to visit in their last 4 matches in the championship, but all 4 won them. In fact, their last home game in La Liga is a draw with Eibar.

📑 Bilbao is strong for the cups, but as a guest in the league he has only 6 points from 9 matches

Athletic Bilbao is in the middle of the table without much chance of matches in Europe and frankly probably without much chance of relegation, although it is 6 points from the 18th place. This is due to the relatively good performances of the team at home as a result and vice versa – as a guest they rarely win. However, the form of the team lately, if we count the matches for the cups, is good, which may have brought them a lot of confidence.

Athletic’s poor performance as a guest is not accidental and Barça will also beat them

 Expert view: We should not forget the detail that Athletic Bilbao had a match for Copa del Rey on Thursday, while that of Barça was on Wednesday. In this heavy cycle 1 day more rest is also a serious factor. In addition, Koeman gave a break to some of the starters against Rayo Vallecano for the cup. We expect a mandatory victory from Barcelona, ​​but the odds for this are low, so we go to the bet Barcelona -1.0 Asian Handicap at 1.60.
