Title holders Barcelona will be looking to build on their impressive 5-0 victory over Elche when they face Athletic Club at Camp Nou. Hansi Flick’s side have won seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions and are particularly strong at home, winning all four of their most recent games there. Barcelona scored 2.5 goals per game across those matches, while keeping two clean sheets. Gavi is doubtful after suffering a minor injury against Elche, with Dani Olmo and Pedri expected to return to the starting XI. Karim Adeyemi should also keep his place after opening his goalscoring account.
Athletic, meanwhile, made a disappointing start to the campaign, suffering a 3-1 home defeat to Sevilla. Their overall numbers remain impressive, though, with the Basque side scoring 2.8 goals per game in their last 10 and winning 50% of those matches. Yuri Berchiche is suspended, while Nico Williams is pushing for a start, as is experienced centre-back Aymeric Laporte. However, Athletic face a major challenge against a Barcelona side that has won 34 of the last 50 H2H meetings.
Barcelona looked sharp up front against Elche and with Athletic Bilbao suiting the Catalan giants, Home Win should be considered, alongside Barcelona Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Hansi Flick's troops average 3.6 total goals per game across their last 10, while Athletic’s matches average an impressive 4.1).
This Primera Division match will be played on Thursday 27 August 2026 at 20:00.
