Barcelona vs Ath Bilbao Prediction: 24/8/2024

Barcelona has been capitalizing on their home-field strength, securing ten victories in their last 13 home games as they aim for promotion from LaLiga. In contrast, Athletic Bilbao has faced challenges during their away games, with seven losses in their last 13 fourth-tier away matches, which has hindered their playoff aspirations.

In their recent history of 20 away matches in LaLiga’s top tier, Barcelona has experienced only one match without any goals. Although Barcelona has seen a few 0-0 results, it’s notable that they have managed to score in seven of their last eight home games.

Barcelona’s games have been quite dynamic, with the team scoring and conceding in 15 of their last 19 LaLiga matches. Athletic Bilbao’s matches have similarly been eventful, with 12 of their last 13 games seeing both teams score.

 

Prediction

Barcelona, pushing for promotion, has been exceptional at home this season, gathering 19 points from a possible 21. Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao has struggled since moving up a division, suffering four defeats in their last seven away matches, which does little to boost their hopes in a competitive league.

Prediction: Barcelona 2 : 1 Athletic Bilbao
