Ath Bilbao – Barcelona : Preview & Prediction
Athletic Bilbao have not had a really good La Liga season since the 2015-16 financial year and a 5th place finish. Since then, the club is mainly satisfied with the middle of the table, and hopes to do better this year. The season started with a sad, tasteless draw on Elche. We will have to do much better against the opponent of the day!
FC Barcelona has had a pretty bizarre summer. After long rumors of Leo Messi’s extension for granted, Barca have finally had to part ways with their Argentine legend. After an average year last year in La Liga with a third place, the Catalan club must do better and will have to reinvent its entire game without its eternal number 10. The first match went very well with a great victory against the Real Sociedad.
Athletic Bilbao finished 10th in La Liga last year.
Bilbao drew 0-0 at Elche for their first league game.
FC Barcelona finished 3rd in La Liga last year.
Barca won (4-2 against Real Sociedad) their first game.
Barca are in good shape and Bilbao seem to be struggling to start this new season. FC Barcelona should logically return from his trip with a result in his pocket, and should still offer a show, as in the first match. Barcelona win or draw and over 1.5!
