FC Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction 23 October 2022

On Sunday, as part of the La Liga gameweek 11, we will see a classic confrontation between Barcelona and Athletic.

Second place, 25 points and a fantastic goal difference of 24-4 - Barcelona look very impressive in this league season. Not so long ago, the Catalans expectedly lost 1-3 to the more powerful Real Madrid, but in other cases, their victims were Elche (3-0), Mallorca (1-0), Celta (1-0) and Villarreal (3-0).

Athletic, after spectacular wins 3-2 against Rayo Vallecano and 4-0 against Almeria, misfired in meetings with Sevilla (1-1), Atlético (0-1) and Getafe (2-2). It is not surprising that as a result the Lions dropped to the sixth line of the standings with 18 points in the asset and a 19-8 scored-conceded balance.

We think that Barcelona will easily take advantage of the decline of Athletic and replenish their piggy bank with three more credit points. Moreover, at their home arena, the Catalans are truly unstoppable.
