Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao prediction

Hans Flick’s La Liga debut as the manager went well with a powerful comeback through Robert Lewandoski who scored a brace against Valencia to confirm their 2-1 victory. They go into the second round with memory of a very tough recent back to back encounters against Athletic Bilbao that saw them finishing their last meetup without counting a single goal on the score board. A good news for Barca’s supporter is the appearance of Pedri who came from the bench to play in the second half of their clash with Valencia. Pedri returned from injury.

On contrary, Bilbao had to share the spoil with Getafe during the opening game of La Liga to make it 1-1 on final whistle. A lot has to be done to change the intimidating record of Blaugrana crew following Bilbao’s 22 away winless games against Barcelona and yet their recent 3 games has not been too impressive as they could not manage to secure a win while they had a limited number of goals during their last 2 games.
