Athletic Bilbao played six matches in 2017 and recorded only one defeat, 1-3 at Barcelona. That loss cost the team their place in Copa del Rey. Basque side are currently on three-match undefeated streak with five points gained. The visitors are occupying seventh position in the league with 32 points gained and only four points behind the top-4, which is quite solid result for the team. Bilbao side struggles in away matches as they’ve gained only eight points in nine games and the most recent away win was taken back in the end of September.
Of course Barcelona have advantage in head-to-heads with Athletic Bilbao. However, Copa del Rey two-leg matchup proved that Athletic know how to battle the Catalans ant upcoming match won’t be an easy walk for the hosts of Camp Nou. We have all reasons to expect solid football from both sides and Bluagrana shouldn’t win this won confidently.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win with +2.0 Asian handicap.
