Athletic Club vs Barcelona prediction, odds and preview

Athletic Club welcome Barcelona to San Mames on Sunday night in La Liga in what is expected to be a mouthwatering showdown.

The hosts approach this game having booked a place in this season’s Copa Del Rey final with a convincing 3-0 win over Atlètico Madrid in midweek.

Meanwhile, Barcelona secured a 4-0 win over Getafe at home last weekend in La Liga at the Olympic Stadium.

The reverse fixture saw Xavi Hernandez’s side grab all three points at home thanks to a Marc Guiu winner, and Barcelona will hope they can keep their title hopes on track.

Also, the two teams faced off at San Mames earlier this year in the Copa Del Rey quarter-final with Bilbao being the better side after 120 minutes of action.

This time however, Barcelona look more organized and could stun the hosts as they are unbeaten in their last four matches against Athletic Club.

Nico Williams is unavailable through suspension due to his red card against Real Betis last weekend.

Meanwhile, Pedri could return to the starting XI after coming off the bench in the win over Getafe last weekend.

The match starts at 20:00 GMT.
