Athletic Bilbao take on the visitors Barcelona at “San Mames” in the central clash of the gameweek 10 of the Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played in Bilbao on Saturday, October 28th.
Athletic Bilbao come up to the fight against Barcelona in a horrible form as the Basques have gotten only one triumph since the 14th of September together with three draws and five defeats including 0:1 loss to Leganes in the latest encounter. With nine rounds behind, Athletic Bilbao sit on the 11th place in the LaLiga standings with 11 points gained and 10-10 goal difference. The Basque side conducted four matches at its own turf resulting in seven points earned, four goal for and two goals against.

On the contrary, Barcelona sweep out their opponents in each battle. The Catalan team broke Olympiakos Piraeus 3:1, Malaga 2:0 and Murcia 3:0 in three recent games. All those victories were gained in three different tournaments: the UEFA Champions League, the LaLiga and the Copa del Rey. Athletic Bilbao’s former head-coach Ernesto Valverde comes up to the clash in his role of the head-coach of the LaLiga leader as Barcelona have 25 points taken with 26-3 goal difference. Lionel Messi and his teammates picked up 10 points with eight goals for and two goals against in four encounters played on the road.
Barcelona won four out of five recent head-to-heads against the Basques and are considered to be the favourites of the clash this time as well. However, the upcoming fight is the home game for Athletic Bilbao where they are quite able to take points from any opponent, therefore, I have no doubts that the Basque team will give a fight to the Catalans in the forthcoming Saturday battle.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win with +1.5 Asian handicap.
