Athletic Bilbao crestAthletic Bilbao, Recent Form

Home
most recent

A 0-0 draw and a point gained against Rayo Vallecano in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Athletic Bilbao last time out.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Rayo Vallecano, who had 18 shots on goal with 2 on target.  

Manager Ernesto Valverde will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.  

Oihan Sancet will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Athletic Bilbao.

Barcelona head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 1-0 home win against Valencia in their last league encounter.  In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 13 shots on goal.  

Manager Xavi Hernández will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals.  With 18 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.  Few teams have managed to keep Blaugrana away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.  

With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form.  They will be very happy with their early away form this season, winning 10 of their 12 away league games.  

On an individual basis, Robert Lewandowski will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 15 goals in Barcelona's 24 league games this season.  

Athletic Bilbao vs. Barcelona Head to head

After a good 4-0 win for Barcelona in this pair's last league encounter, Athletic Bilbao will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.  

Goals should be on the cards for Blaugrana in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Athletic in their last 6 meetings together.  Ahead of this match, Athletic won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 2 meetings against Blaugrana.  In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Barça have shown they know their way around the Los Leones defence having scored 14 times against them in those 5 matches.  

In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Barça has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Athletic in 6 games.  

Ousmane Dembélé has scored in each of Barça's last 0 league games against Athletic.
