Barcelona Preview – Can Barcelona reclaim top spot?
A rather frustrating 0-0 draw away from home at Sevilla on the weekend saw Barcelona relinquish their slender lead at the top of La Liga to arch-rivals, Real Madrid, but Quique Setien’s side have a chance to reclaim top spot with a win here on Tuesday night against Athletic Bilbao as the hosts look to extend their unbeaten run to five matches.
Earlier wins against Real Sociedad, Mallorca and Leganes have helped maintain Barcelona’s bid for another La Liga title, as too an impressive home record which stands at 14-1-0 47/12 which includes winning their last seven home matches on the trot.
In addition, the manner of the host’s wins during this Spanish top flight campaign have been by convincing margins as 9 of Barcelona’s 14 home wins have been by a 2+ goal margin, and they now have a job to do at the Nou Camp on Tuesday night…
Athletic Bilbao Preview – Can Bilbao continue upward trajectory?
A solid 1-0 home win against Real Betis on the weekend saw Athletic Bilbao extend their unbeaten run to five matches in the Spanish top flight and lift themselves up into 9th place ahead of this tough away day at Barcelona on Tuesday night.
It’s been an impressive turnaround in form of late for the visitors who had previously endured a dismal 10-match sequence without a win in La Liga but wins against Villarreal, Real Valladolid and Real Betis, along with picking up points in draws with Atletico Madrid and Eibar, have helped steady the ship and lift them up into 9th place.
Athletic Bilbao are still not out of the reckoning of a possible top six spot either as they trail Real Sociedad by a five-point margin but they’re likely to have their work cut out to get anything from this trip as Barcelona look to reclaim top spot in style.
