Prediction published on 07/02/2019, 22:36  by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions

Barcelona have drawn in their last two matches and will be seeking a return to winning ways as they hope to hold on the six point advantage they have at the top of the La Liga standings. They haven’t lost since the defeat by Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey return clash, leaving them on a four game unbeaten run and taking on an improved Athletic Bilbao side is a guarantee for an entertaining clash out there in Bilbao. Athletic Bilbao have lost only two of their last 11 matches and will hope this form translates to another good performance on Sunday. At five, they have the least wins among the top 12 sides in the league and they head to this game against the league’s leading scorers, having scored just 23 goals from 22 matches, which is 37 goals lesser than what Barcelona have managed. They have also conceded more goals but will bank on their home form that has seen them win three and draw three in the last six league games. On the other hand, Barcelona have picked four straight away wins, keeping three clean sheets in the run and scoring 13 goals in the process. They are unbeaten in seven away league matches, winning five, while they have lost just two of their last 32 league matches away from home. Barcelona have not lost to Athletic Bilbao in the last five meetings, winning four and drawing one. They have lost just once in the last 13 meetings with Athletic Bilbao while they have picked 42 wins in the 64 matches in history between the two sides, with Athletic Bilbao managing nine wins.
