This Sunday, Barcelona will host Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou, marking their return to La Liga action. This weekend, both teams have a point to prove after a successful season. This season, Athletic Bilbao has performed above expectations and is currently in sixth place in the La Liga standings. This week, the Basque team played Getafe to a 2-2 draw, so they’ll need to play better in this one.
In contrast, Barcelona is currently in second place in the league table and has recovered from a difficult week. In their previous match, the Catalan giants defeated Villarreal 3-0, and they will need to do the same this weekend.
Prediction
With their excellent performance against Villarreal, Barcelona has recovered from their disappointing month. This season, Robert Lewandowski has scored a lot of goals for the Blaugrana, and he wants to do it again this weekend. On their day, Athletic Bilbao can be trouble for the top teams, and they have been trouble for Barcelona in the past. However, Barcelona should be able to win this game because they appear to be the superior team.
Prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Athletic Bilbao
