Ath Bilbao vs Barcelona Prediction & Tips
Athletic Club will host Barcelona on Friday at 8:00 pm in San Mamés in the opening game of La Liga. The home team finished the pre-season in the best way, beating Mirandés by two balls to one. Guided by Gaizka Garitano, the Basque side had a preseason with ups and downs, defeating teams like the German Borussia Monchengladbach (2-0), tied with the Italians of Roma (2-2) and lost with the modest Santander (2-1). The culé side have won four of their five pre-season games, ending in a 4-0 win against Napoli in the final of the United States tour. However, Ernesto Valverde’s side may not have their biggest star, Lionel Messi, as the Argentine star is recovering from his injury in the first week of work. Barcelona have won on three of their last five visits to San Mamés. Can you get on the right foot in the championship?
In six of Athletic Club eight games preseason there have been more than 2.5 goals.
In four of Barcelona’s five games this season there have been over 2.5 goals.
The Basque formation scored in all games of the preseason.
Barcelona have scored 11 goals in five preseason games.
We expect a Bilbao Athletic determined to keep all three points and looking for the goal early on against Barcelona who have one of the most fearsome attacks of the championship, with players who can do damage on any field. Bet on more than 2.5 goals.
