Barcelona Preview – Can Barca make it five?
Sunday’s hosts, Barcelona, have won their last four matches straight in La Liga and this has helped the hosts up into 4th place in the Spanish top flight, and with the visit of mid-table Athletic Bilbao coming up, Barcelona will be eyeing off a fifth win on the trot here.
Victories over Huesca, Athletic Bilbao (3-2 away), Granada and Elche have turned Barcelona’s fortunes around and another three points this Sunday could see them move level on points with 2nd placed Real Madrid as the La Liga title race hots up.
The hosts are now unbeaten in their last nine matches overall in La Liga, winning seven of these, so confidence has been restored in the Barcelona camp and having won the previous two meetings on the trot in La Liga against their visitors, Barca will be in confident mood here too.
Athletic Bilbao Preview – Can Bilbao improve on road?
Although Sunday’s visitors, Athletic Bilbao, recorded a convincing 5-1 thrashing over Getafe at home last time out in La Liga, they’ll be up against it when they travel to Barcelona this Sunday as they’ve managed to pick up just one win out of their nine away matches to date.
Athletic Bilbao owe their current mid-table position of 10th place to their form at home where they’ve picked up six of their total of seven wins so far this season, while a poor away record of 1-3-5 8/14 has prevented them from climbing further up the table.
The visitors are without a win from their last seven matches on their travels and includes four defeats so they may be fearing the worst here.
