Football Betting Prediction Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao

After starting the league at full gas with victories against Deportivo Alaves Real Valladolid, Huesca and Real Sociedad, Barcelona come from two games where only managed to add 1 point, in the last day was even surprised in the field of Leganés, who won the first victory of their history against the Catalans and after leaving the gap at a disadvantage.

That 1-2 defeat follows the 2-2 draw with Girona at Camp Nou last weekend in a game where Barcelona also scored first, but ended up allowing the turnaround already in numerical inferiority by the contested expulsion of Lenglet, managing to reach the draw, dominate the game and create situations, but without materializing and reach the desired 3-2.
Still, Valverde’s side remain in the lead, as Real Madrid have also lost – with even greater bang (they were thrashed at home by Sevilla) – and both remain 13 points, now with the approach of Athletic and Alavés, both with 11.

Next Wednesday, Barcelona are going to England to face Tottenham, in the game to count for the second round of the group stage of the Champions League.

Athletic Bilbao takes 6 points in 5 games and arrives at this 7th round in 15th place of the table, although with less a game realized in relation to 18 other teams of the Spanish championship, by the adjournment of the game of the third round with the Ray.

Last Wednesday, Athletic followed the example of Barcelona and lost in as surprising as it thundered.

In front of Villarreal, in Bilbao, the Basque team were thrashed 3-0, in what was the first defeat in official matches of 2018/19.

In the previous rounds, already after the championship stop, Athletic had managed to tie in the reception to Real Madrid (1-1) and the move to the ground of Betis (2-2), where he was even winning by 2-0 but ended up letting himself draw even when he already played in numerical inferiority.

Football Prediction Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao

After losing 5 points in the last two days, Barcelona will enter all gas on this return to Camp Nou.

Athletic has not had a good defensive record and for that reason I believe that it will not act as contained as the great majority of the teams that go to the ground of the Barça.

Berizzo’s team have quality in their offensive process, will definitely try to annoy Barcelona, who has committed serious defensive errors and suffered from it.

I expect a lively game, with strong pressure from the home men and a more than likely return to the victories, but I do not expect facilities and I believe Athletic will contribute to a good show, in a game that should have a natural offensive ascendant of the Catalans.
