Prediction: 3-0
Athletic Bilbao
After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Girona, Barcelona suffered a shocking 2-1 loss to Leganes in the suburbs of Madrid. The Catalans are eager to defend their La Liga title, but they need to improve their game as soon as possible if they are to meet the goal. Ernesto Valverde rested several first-team regulars in the 2-1 loss to Leganes, but he is likely to field the best possible side against Athletic Club. Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic return to the starting line-up and seeing that the Lions suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Villarreal in their last league fixture, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s football game. In their last meeting at Camp Nou in the Spanish elite division Barcelona defeated Athletic Club 2-0 and we believe that the history is going to repeat itself.
