Barcelona hosts Athletic Bilbao in round 26 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, February 27th at Camp Nou (Barcelona)
Barcelona continues to delight its fans. February turned out to be quite good in terms of results. Despite a 1-1 draw, the Catalans had a spectacular match against Napoli in the first leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals. In addition, the Blue-Garnets beat their bitter rival Atletico Madrid (4-2) and got into the top four of the LaLiga standings for the first time in the current season. Last weekend, Barcelona defeated Valencia at Estadio de Mestalla (1-4). In that match, Jordi Alba made perfect passes, and the newcomer Aubameyang scored a hat-trick. Head coach Xavi and the club's management are doing everything to return Barca to its former glory.

Athletic Bilbao is a tough team that has been playing in the top division of Spanish football for a long time. The Basques lack stability, but they can cause a lot of problems for each opponent. In February, Athletic Bilbao showed mixed results. The team knocked out Real Madrid from the Copa del Rey. But then the Lions unexpectedly lost to Mallorca in the championship of Spain (3-2). Let’s recall that the Islanders are in 16th place in the LaLiga standings. Last weekend Athletic Bilbao partially made up for that failure. The Red and Whites defeated Real Sociedad at home (4-0), scoring all four goals in the second half. However, the tournament situation has not changed much. Athletic Bilbao is in 8th place at the moment.
As we have noted above, Athletic Bilbao is a tough team. You can also add that this is an unyielding opponent. This fact applies not only to Barcelona but also to other representatives of the Spanish championship. In the first round of LaLiga, the Basques and the Catalans tied 1-1, and the regulation time of the cup match ended with a score of 2-2. The Lions scored another goal only in extra time. Due to the renewal of the squad, Barcelona significantly stepped up in terms of the attack, but the defense cannot be called reliable. Based on the situation, we believe that the spectators at Camp Nou will see goals from both sides. We will add that these opponents exchanged goals in five of the last six head-to-head confrontations.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
