Barcelona – Athletic Bilbao Preview

Barcelona hosts Athletic Bilbao at the Montjuic in one of the most interesting matches from the second round of La Liga. Stay with us and our best free football tips for today. Let’s take a look!

Barca started with a win under their new manager Hansi Flick. Despite missing a lot of players, Los Cules faced Valencia at the Mestalla and secured a 2-1 win. Robert Lewandowski started the season on fire as he scored both goals for Barca.

Because of many absentees, Flick had to put many youngsters on the pitch. Marc Bernal and Marc Casado started in midfield, but they did well and helped Barcelona win the game. In the second half Pedri returned from injury so we expect to see him in the line-up against Bilbao.

Andreas Christensen is another player who could be in the line-up against the Basques. The Danish international surprisingly started from the bench against Valencia, but came in during the second half. His experience could be important against Athletic.

Athletic Bilbao disappointed their fans in the first round of the 2024/25 season. The Basques were favorites against Getafe at the San Mames Barria, but only got a point with a 1-1 draw. Oihan Sancet opened the score for Athletic, but Getafe’s Uche equalised in the second half.

Nico Williams shall return in the line-up against Barca. Bilbao’s biggest star started from the bench against Getafe, but now he looks ready to find himself in the line-up. Williams will be Athletic’s most dangerous player in the Catalan capital on Saturday – Barca’s right back Jules Kounde will have a tough night against him.

That’s the best free football tips for today for the upcoming La Liga clash between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao at the Montjuic. Is this going to be a second in a row for Barca or maybe a first win for the Lions? We shall see.
