Athletic Bilbao Preview & Team News

Athletic Bilbao enters this fixture following on from a 0-0 La Liga stalemate versus Rayo Vallecano. That was the third straight winless game for them that kept them in the middle of the table. It has been all too rare in recent times that Athletic Bilbao has shown defensive steel. The reality is that Athletic Bilbao has seen their defense breached in 5 of their previous six matches, letting in 7 goals during that time. Going into this one, Athletic Bilbao has not registered a win against Barcelona in their last six league games. Unai Simón (Achilles tendon problems), Jon Morcillo (Collarbone fracture), and Ander Herrera (Hamstring Injury) won’t be playing for Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde.

Barcelona comes into this match following a 1-0 La Liga win vs Valencia in their previous fixture. Although the visitors haven’t been very convincing, they are nine points ahead of Real Madrid. During their six last matches, Xavi Hernández’s Barcelona has managed to stick the ball in the net seven times, earning them the goals per game average of 1.17. Going into this contest, Barcelona remains undefeated by Athletic Bilbao when having played them away from home in the previous two league games. Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández has not got a full squad to pick from. Keidi Bare (Ruptured ankle ligament) and Adrià Pedrosa (Groin Injury) will miss out on this game.
