Reason for Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona Predictions
Ath Bilbao has been in absolutely miserable form recently, collecting just two points from a possible 23 and losing four consecutive matches in front of their supporters. Over the course of their previous nine home games at this level, Ath Bilbao has been involved in just a single fixture that has produced more than two goals. It would be fair to say that Ath Bilbao has not been the most exciting team to watch recently, with only three of their last 12 La Liga matches producing goals at both ends. Ath Bilbao, by way of contrast, ran into plenty of difficulties on their patch, suffering four defeats in seven top-flight fixtures, so they have little reason for optimism ahead of this clash. Muniain has excellent control of the ball, and he can play in several positions. Asier Villalibre enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and heads toward the goal, the opponent has problems. Unai Simón (Achilles tendon problems), Jon Morcillo (Collarbone fracture), and Ander Herrera (Hamstring Injury) won’t be playing for Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde.
The picture has been a somewhat different one as far as Barcelona is concerned, with their charges recording nine wins in 12 La Liga fixtures, including four in a row of late. Given that 12 of the last 17 Barcelona away matches in La Liga have also served up under 2.5 goals, including a couple at the home stadium, more of the same should be expected here. Raphinha enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves toward the goal, the opponent has problems. Pedri showed that he is a great player, he moves well and cooperates with the attackers, all praise for him. Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández has not got a full squad to pick from. Keidi Bare (Ruptured ankle ligament) and Adrià Pedrosa (Groin Injury) will miss out on this game. Ronald Araújo is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
Conclusion
It is going to be an exciting clash, as Athletic Bilbao is not without a chance of remaining undefeated. However, we believe Barcelona should meet the expectations and deliver a win.
We can expect a big fight between these two teams, and both of them should be able to score. One thing is for sure – football fans should enjoy this game.
