Athletic Barcelona: betting tip and bets with odds of 3.80

Current form

Athletic definitely expected to compete for a place in the Champions League, and in general, the selection of players made it possible to set such ambitious goals, although the season was initially expected to be extremely difficult, the competition for a place in the top four was off the charts. In general, the red and white had a decent start to the championship and were immediately among the leaders.

Despite the fact that Athletic was fighting on two fronts, torn between the championship and the Europa League, they managed to consistently and efficiently perform on both the national and international fronts. In the Europa League, Ernesto Valverde's team performed more than solidly and had every chance to compete for the final of the tournament, but stumbled a step before the main match, being eliminated by Manchester United.

Athletic is confidently coping with its task in the championship and has already guaranteed itself a ticket to the Champions League, placing itself in fourth place in the table one round before the championship finishes. The Basques will not lose the fourth place, Villarreal has three points less, but the red and white have the advantage in personal meetings, but Atletico can no longer reach the third.

Current form

Barcelona was approaching the start of the season as one of the main contenders for the league title along with Real Madrid. In the first round, the blue-garnet made several mistakes and had to catch up with the cream for a long time, at some point the advantage of galaktikos became very serious and there was a risk of killing the intrigue in the championship race long before the finish of the championship.

However, in the second round, Barcelona added stability and skilfully took advantage of Real Madrid's mistakes, managing in a short time not only to win back the handicap, but also to take the lead. In the Spanish Cup, the blue-garnet justified their status and won the trophy, beating the cream in the final, but in the Champions League they stopped a step before the main match, losing in a dramatic confrontation to Inter.

Barcelona secured the championship title in the 36th round and allowed themselves to relax in the last match of the championship. In the home match against Villarreal, the Catalans won the first half 2-1, but conceded twice in the second half of the match and were unable to recover. The defeat ended a streak of six consecutive league wins and was the sixth of the season.
