There could be a tight match at the Estadio San Mamés according to the latest odds. While Barcelona are slight favourites to win this encounter, they haven’t always been foot perfect on the road this season. Yes, they are unbeaten although five of their twelve matches have ended in a draw.
Nevertheless, Barca average two goals per away game and perhaps they will become the second team to win away to Athletic Bilbao this term. On the flip side, Ernest Valverde will fancy his side’s chances of securing a victory and they are actually the top home scorers in the division at the time of writing, notching thirty-four goals.
For those wanting to look at an alternative betting angle, we can see the game featuring both teams to score and you could even combine this selection with Over 2.5 Goals. There is the prospect of a high-scoring encounter, with the correct score betting market providing customers with the chance of getting bigger odds for their selections.
Bilbao come into this match off the back of a cup clash against Atletico Madrid and perhaps Barcelona will be able to enjoy a victory to maintain their outside chance of reeling in Real Madrid at the top of the standings. The gap is currently eight points and it means that the visitors have to be practically foot perfect to retain their crown.
