Barcelona will mark an emotional return to Camp Nou after two years when they welcome Athletic Bilbao. Placed second in La Liga, Barca trails leaders Real Madrid by three points, while Athletic are further down in seventh. Below is our prediction for the match.
Barcelona hope to pick up from where they left off going into the international break. Though labored, they managed a 4-2 win at Celta Vigo.
Their win was helped on by Real Madrid drawing Rayo Vallecano, and Barcelona will seek to cut the deficit even further. This isn’t an opponent that has troubled Barcelona a lot, and marking a return to their iconic home will further boost the hosts.
Athletic Bilbao had a good start to the season but have since fallen by the wayside. They did go into the international break off a win, though.
Nico Williams’ sole strike guided Athletic back to winning ways, beating Real Oviedo 1-0 after three straight defeats. The level of opposition will be higher this time, and Athletic have to be at their best to avoid a whitewash here.
The last time they faced Barcelona, it ended in a 3-0 defeat, marking three straight losses in this particular fixture. The visitors are winless in their latest six away matches, losing five and failing to score in four.

Our Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
While Barcelona aren’t known for keeping a lot of clean sheets, we will back them for one here. This is a special game as they return to Camp Nou, and they will be keen on a perfect outing.
