Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 22 overall which averages out at 3.67 goals per meeting.

The previous league match featuring the two was La Liga match day 11 on 23/10/2022 when it ended Barcelona 4-0 Athletic Bilbao.

Athletic Bilbao had 5 attempts on goal with 3 on target.

The referee was Juan Martínez Munuera.

📰 Team News: Athletic Bilbao

Jon Morcillo (Collarbone fracture), Iñigo Lekue (Hamstring Injury), Unai Simón (Achilles tendon problems) and Ander Herrera (Hamstring Injury) won’t be able to feature for Athletic Bilbao boss Ernesto Valverde.

It looks as if Los Leones could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Julen Agirrezabala, Oscar de Marcos, Daniel Vivian, Inigo Martinez, Mikel Balenziaga, Dani Garcia, Mikel Vesga, Nico Williams, Raul Garcia, Alex Berenguer and Inaki Williams.

ℹ️ Team News: Barcelona

Barcelona boss Xavi Hernández has some current player fitness concerns. Adrià Pedrosa (Groin Injury) and Keidi Bare (Ruptured ankle ligament) can’t be considered. Ronald Araújo will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We’re of the thinking that Barça might play in a 4-3-3 system, starting M. ter Stegen, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Sergi Roberto, Alex Balde, Ferran Torres, Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Gavi.

💭 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Athletic Bilbao may find it difficult to score against this Barcelona side who we reckon will do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We’re therefore predicting a good battle with a 0-1 advantage for Barcelona when the full-time whistle blows.

Should be interesting.
