Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona will face off at the back of a successful season for both sides. Barcelona have reclaimed the Liga title, while Bilbao, the hosts here, are back in the Champions League. We have a prediction for this match.
Athletic come into this pressure-free game having achieved all they can for the season. By virtue of head-to-head records, Athletic will finish fourth no matter the results by teams around them.
This, in effect, is just a chance for Ernesto Valverde to assess his fringe players and start planning for next season. The hosts are unbeaten in five league matches and will be gunning for a rare La Liga win over Barcelona.
In their first match after being crowned champions, Barcelona suffered a 3-2 defeat at home to Villarreal. That was rather expected, as Villarreal were playing for a spot in the top five to confirm their place in the Champions League.
With the top five complete, this match is almost a dead rubber affair. This match will mark the third meeting between the two sides this season. In the earlier two, Barcelona produced straight wins, with Lamine Yamal scoring in both games.
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last six away league matches, and they won all those.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona Prediction
This will be a pressure-free game for both sides, and we also expect fringe players to get a fee for both sides. Neither of the two sides has come out as fast starters in their matches, which largely has been the reason for most of their matches seeing second-half goals.
In Barca’s last five away matches, all their goals came in the second half. It was almost the same in Athletic, who have mostly scored in the second period in the last five home league matches. Our prediction for Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona is for the second half to have the most goals.
