The Basques keep successfully mixing concrete

Athletic Bilbao have only been beaten once at their own stadium, San Mames. However, the relatively high number of draws is also striking, with the Basques having drawn six times against their opponents. 13 times in total, which is the second-highest tally of the season. In La Liga, Athletic have not lost five times in a row. Even more interesting: Five times Bilbao even played to nil in the process. And eleven of the last twelve point games ended with an Under 2.5 goal rather less eventful.

Athletic Bilbao

System: 4-3-3.

Our prediction for Athletic Bilbao vs FC Barcelona

The strongest defense meets the best offense: In these expert tips, we have opted for the Under 2.5 because this has already happened in three of the last four meetings. Otherwise, we think Bilbao could spring a surprise and recommend the odds for the double chance 1X. Athletic have not conceded the fewest defeats in La Liga to date for nothing and also have a clearly positive record in home games against Barca in the H2H comparison.
