Athletic Club vs Barcelona Preview and Team News
Athletic Club Team News
Sitting ninth in the table, Athletic Club aren’t currently in contention for a European spot next season. They’re undefeated in their last five league games, with three victories during that run.
Most recently, however, they were defeated 0-1 by Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semifinal. Despite having 51% of the ball, Bilbao couldn’t make much use of it. They took a mere 11 shots all evening, with only two on target, and failed to create a single big chance.
Athletic Club also have a lengthy injury list. Unai Eguiluz, Benat Prados, Maroan Sannadi, and Nico Williams have all been ruled out with various injuries. Yeray Alvarez, meanwhile, has been suspended.
Athletic Club predicted lineup vs Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Padilla; Berchiche, Laporte, Paredes, Vivian; Jauregizar, Rego; Berenguer, Sancet, I. Williams; Guruzeta.
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona sit atop the league table. They’ve won 21 of their 26 matches this season, garnering 64 points, four more than arch-rivals Real Madrid. The team are riding a three-game winning streak, which includes their latest 3-0 win over a strong Atletico Madrid side.
Not only did Raphinha score a goal in that clash, but he also recorded an xG of 1.02 and 100% accuracy in long balls. Lamine Yamal, meanwhile, created four chances, including two big ones. The 18-year-old also made eight vital touches in the opposition’s box.
Barça, just like their opponents, are dealing with several injuries. Alejandro Balde, Jules Kounde, Toni Fernandez, Frenkie De Jong, Jofre Torrents, Andreas Christensen, and Gavi are all sidelined.
Barcelona predicted lineup vs Athletic Club (4-2-3-1): J. Garcia; Cancelo, Martin, Cubarsi, Araujo; Pedri, Bernal; Raphinha, Lopez, Yamal; Torres.
Athletic Club vs Barcelona Prediction
- Pick: Barcelona to win
- Odds: -169 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Athletic Club 1-3 Barcelona
We expect Barcelona to win. They’re ranked higher than Bilbao in the standings. Even in H2H encounters, the Blaugrana hold an advantage over their opponents, having won 31 of their last 48 meetings.
Moreover, Barça have beaten Athletic Club twice already this season – 4-0 in the reverse fixture and 5-0 in the Super Cup. They’ve avoided defeat in nine of their 13 road games this season while scoring 30 goals. Bilbao, meanwhile, have won just seven at home.
Athletic Club vs Barcelona Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 3 goals
- Odds: -130 (20Bet)
We expect to see more than three goals. Both meetings between these teams this season saw this prediction come true, and a similar scenario could unfold again.
Barça can rely on players such as Ferran Torres, Fermin Lopez, and Lamine Yamal, who have combined for 47 goal contributions in the league. Even loanee Marcus Rashford is a big threat, having already scored four goals. Barcelona’s xG of 67.7 is the highest in the league, which points towards a goalfest here.
