Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona Prediction

14-time Supercopa de Espana champions Barcelona began 2025 on a positive note with a routine Copa del Rey victory against Barbastro, but Hansi Flick knows there is plenty of work to be done to win the fans over after a torrid run of league form to close out the year.

The Calatan giants have won just one of their last seven La Liga contests, which has seen them slip to third in the table after an excellent start to the campaign took them to the summit.

Now only two points behind Barca in the league standings, Athletic Bilbao enjoyed far better fortunes in the latter half of 2024. Indeed, the Basque side are currently unbeaten in their last 15 games across all competitions, and have lost just one of their last 22.

With these factors in mind, Bilbao are more than capable of upsetting Barcelona here, and could be worth looking at in the draw no bet market.
