Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga
by Daniel Ngulu | in LaLiga Predictions
Five points stand between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao ahead of the two teams’ faceoff in Barcelona on Sunday. Barcelona go into this game placed fourth with 42 points while Bilbao are eighth on 37 points. Both sides are coming from wins and for Barcelona, the good shape is coming back and they only need to work on their defending. The Catalans are coming from a 4-2 away win at Napoli in the Europa League and will be fired up for this one. The win marked a third time in five matches that Barcelona had scored four goals, but the two goals conceded came for a third time in five matches too. In their last 10 matches, Barcelona have one clean sheet – in the 1-0 win over Alaves; both sides have scored in nine of their last 10 matches. In five of their last 10 games, Barca have conceded two or more goals. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has scored four goals in the last two matches and he will be a man looked upon by Barcelona here.
Athletic Bilbao, just as Barcelona, are coming from a big win; in their last game, they thrashed Real Sociedad 4-0. That was the third time in five matches that they scored two or more goals, and they haven’t failed to score in their last seven matches. The visitors have failed to hit the back of the net on just two occasions in the last 10 matches and thus carry a good scoring run into this game. Their win over Sociedad handed them a fourth clean sheet in 10 matches and it was the fifth time in the 10 games that both teams managed to score. Their last away match, against Mallorca, ended in a 3-2 loss; that was Bilbao’s first loss in their last seven away matches; they’ve only lost two in 10. Bilbao have already met Barcelona twice this season, and on both occasions avoided defeat. In their La Liga meeting, the two sides drew 1-1 but they also met in Copa Del Rey and Bilbao won 3-2. In their last six meetings, both teams have scored in five.
