Barcelona – Athletic Bilbao, Picks and Tips
The Camp Nou club is presenting itself at the weekend duel after a series of six consecutive games without defeat in all the competitions in which it is engaged. After 1-0 vs Alaves and 3-2 vs Atletico in LaLiga, that draw followed in the derby with Espanyol (2-2). The round with Napoli came (1-1) and the victory obtained in the championship last weekend, 4-1 in Valencia. In the middle of this week, the Catalans won away from Italy 4-2 and qualified further in the competition. Jordi Alba, Frenkie De Jong, Gerard Pique and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored for the guests. After 24 LaLiga matches, the Blaugrana team is on the 4th place in the championship, with 42 points accumulated. It's the same number as Atletico Madrid, but with one game less. However, the distance to the Real leader is a significant one, of 15 "lengths".
Bilbao had a five-game unbeaten streak that began in January. Everything was going to be stopped by a 2-3 on the field of Mallorca, two weeks ago. Last weekend, however, Athletic won the 4-0 derby vs Real Sociedad with a score of 4-0, thanks to the successes of Vivian, Sancet, Williams and Muniain. Marcelino Garcia Toral's students are fighting for the European Cups this season. At the moment, they are on the 8th place in the ranking of Spain, with 37 points collected in 25 rounds. There are only two "lengths" to Villarreal, from the sixth position.
