Barcelona, Recent FormLast time out, Barcelona recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Villarreal. In that game they had 70% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Villarreal who had 5 attempts and 1 on target.
Their boss Xavi Hernández will be rightly happy with his team of late, having seen them score 13 goals in their last 6 matches while only letting 3 over their own goal line. They are proving tough to beat at home with their recent run of 5 clean sheets. Few teams have managed to keep Blaugrana away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
They have certainly enjoyed a good run of late, having won 5 of their past 6 matches. They will be very happy with their very strong start to the season, winning 8 of their 10 league games.
On an individual basis, Robert Lewandowski has been a major threat in front of goal all season having scored 11 goals in the league so far.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Getafe. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Getafe, who had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
There will be mixed feelings from Los Leones, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games away from home, they've drawn the last 2 of these games in a row.
Iñaki Williams will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Athletic Bilbao.
Athletic Bilbao will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Barcelona, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
The Los Leones defence has struggled at Spotify Camp Nou, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 23 visits.
Athletic have lost the last 3 times they've have visited Barça in the league and have failed to win any of their last 20 encounters at Spotify Camp Nou.
Barça manager Xavi Hernández has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ronald Araújo (Hip), Andreas Christensen (Sprained ankle) and Memphis Depay (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
