Barcelona - Athletic Bilbao betting tips and odds

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Barcelona winning is by far the most likely outcome.

Athletic Bilbao stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of ODDS_AWAY_WIN for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Last round saw Barcelona take an early lead against Elche and maintain the momentum up until that last whistle. The match-up was highly favourable, of course, but the squad might be able to keep that same momentum going against Athletic.

Team from Bilbao showcased respectable form in the second half of their previous home outing against Getafe, though the first half was a bit lacking. The match-up was only slightly in their favour, so the final 5:1 victory means they performed above expectations.

Blaugrana are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 9 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Sunday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

Based on their recent performance, Team from Bilbao’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

With a 3rd during the mid-season, Barca are well on their way to a Champions League qualification. There’s plenty of time left, though, and they still have a decent shot at the championship title even.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this La Liga season, the hosts already recorded a victory over The Lions. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
