The football match of the 23rd round of La Liga between Athletic and Barcelona will begin at the San Mames Barria arena in Bilbao. Despite the field factor and the difficult match that Barca played the day before, the bookmakers believe that the Catalans are the favorites of the upcoming meeting.
Athletic
In the last round of Primera, Athletic was defeated in a derby, losing on the road to Real Sociedad 1: 2. However, before this, the “red-whites” did not lose in 4 games in a row. In the Spanish Cup, they beat Sevilla 1: 0 away, although this was not enough to get into the next stage of the second most important Spanish football tournament. In La Liga, Athletic beat Sevilla (2:0) and Betis (1:0), tied with Villarreal (1: 1). Such results led to the fact that the Basques escaped from the relegation zone, now they are on the 12th position in the table.
Barcelona
Catalans continue to lead in the peloton, in the asset "blaugranas" have 50 points, which is 6 points more than the nearest pursuer, Atletico de Madrid. Directly in the Primera Barca recently had breathtaking results, before the fight with Valencia, the Valverde team had an 8-game winning streak. But in the last round, the “bats” managed to give battle to the current champion at the Camp Nou, the fight ended with a score of 2: 2. Barcelona has the best league stats on the road, in 10 matches there are seven wins with two draws and one loss, 22: 8 goal difference.
Prediction
Athletic in their field can give battle to anyone, including Barcelona. In addition, in the first round Basques on the road managed to distinguish themselves at the gates of the Catalans, why not repeat this success in the home game? Well, the likely goal of Barca looks like something for granted.
"Both teams to score - yes", with an odd of 1.62
