THE PREDICTION
Athletic Club come into this on the back of an opening day goalless draw against Elche away from home. Marcelino’s appointment in January saw the Basque side have an upturn in form and high-scoring fortunes that weren’t necessarily aligned with their performance and result on the opening day of this season. They come up against a Barcelona side that had a surprise 4-2 win over a poor Real Sociedad last weekend as they begin their post-Messi era. That high-scoring, high-conceding theme is likely to continue here and both teams scoring is a strong bet for this one.
