Betting suggestion:
This duel brings to the field two teams that have been presenting very different performances so far in the Spanish Championship. While Barcelona is in the lead of the competition, Athletic Bilbao appears only in the second half of the qualifying table. The home team is known for its extreme offensive power, which is given above all by set pieces, individual plays and attacks by the tips, which are completed with great precision. Thus, as it will face a team without much strength and a much lower squad, the most likely scenario is Barcelona's elastic win, and it is a good option to bet in a game with more goals than usual.

Analysis Barcelona
After 22 wins and 6 draws, the home team is in the 1st position, havinf won 72 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Málaga by (0‑2), after in the previous match they have won (1‑0) at home, against Atlético Madrid. They come to this match after a home win against Chelsea by (3‑0).
They haven’t lost any of the last 28 matches for this competition. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 2‑0 (5 out of 13 matches). Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 9 of the last 13 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 28 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times, but have turned the score around in 4.
Barcelona has the opportunity to add its third consecutive home victory for the Spanish Championship, and thus remain clear in the lead of the competition. The club - which has just secured its place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League - comes from two consecutive wins, a period in which it has not conceded a goal. The last of them occurred away from home, against Malaga, in a game where it was far superior to the opponent, having finished more than triple of time, guaranteeing the victory still in the first stage. Unsurprisingly, the team owns the best attack of the competition, with an average of 2.57 goals per game, and its defense is the second less leaked. The team is one of only two that still remain undefeated at home, and in that condition was not leaked on eight occasions. The 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 should be the scheme used in this duel, with highlight for young Dembélé.

Analysis Athletic Club
The away team is currently in the 12th position of the league, with 35 points won, after 8 wins, 11 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Sevilla, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Leganés, by (2‑0). In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got a home loss against Olympique Marseille by (1‑2). In the last 10 away league matches Athletic Club has a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 28 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1.
Athletic Bilbao continues to have a very questionable performance in this edition of the Spanish Championship, since it has only added two victories in the last ten matches, running the risk of suffering its fourth consecutive away defeat in the competition. In the last round, the team at least did the homework, and with an inspired performance of Garcia, managed to defeat Leganes. As was evident in this clash, the team is not in a worse situation only due to the consistency of the defensive system, which today is among the six least leaked of the competition. Playing away from home, the team has won less than a third of the points, and in that condition has been without scoring for three games. The 4-2-3-1 has been the standard formation adopted by the coach, who will probably keep San José as a reference in the midfield.
