LiontipsBarcelona - Athletic: betting tip (cf 2.65) and bets on the Spanish Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Barcelona has clearly set itself the maximum goals in all the tournaments in which it participates – the selection of players makes it possible to count on success on all fronts. In general, the blue-garnet team looked good at the start of the championship, but they had already made several serious mistakes, and in such a fierce competition it was simply unacceptable.
Barcelona made the first of them in the eighth round, sensationally losing 1-4 to Sevilla away, which in recent years, to put it mildly, has not shone in the championship. However, the main one certainly took place in El Clasico in the 10th round, where the Catalans lost 1-2 to Real Madrid. In the last match of the championship, Barcelona took advantage of cream's mistake and beat4:2 Celta - now the gap from the main competitor in the table is only three points.
Barcelona will play Chelsea in London in the fifth round of the Champions League in a few days. On the international stage, the blue-garnet team definitely still has something to strive for – the Catalans have only two wins in four rounds and so far only 11th place in the table. The bet is definitely on finishing in the top eight, so the upcoming trip to London will certainly leave its mark on today's match.
Disqualifications and injuries
De Jong is disqualified. Ter Stegen and Gavi are injured.

Approximate composition: Garcia — Cunde, Kubarsi, E. Garcia, Balde— Lopez, Casado— Yamal, Olmo, Rashford– Lewandowski.
Current form
Athletic was considered a clear contender for the fourth place before the start of the season - last season, the red and white defended the fourth place without any problems and since then they have clearly not become weaker. However, at the start of the season, Ernesto Valverde's team had a lot of problems and the basques lost points very often, as for a candidate for a ticket to the Champions League.
While the situation has not yet become critical, but it is already serious enough, there is a risk that by the end of the first round the main competitors will be released into a serious gap. After 12 rounds, Athletic is seventh in the table with 17 points and eight points behind fourth-placed Atletico. After beating Oviedo 1-0 at home in the last round, Athletic broke a three-match winning streak in the championship.
The situation is seriously complicated by Athletic's participation in the Champions League, where the Basques will play Slavia Prague away in a few days. There, too, the situation for the red-whites is gradually becoming critical – only one victory in four rounds and so far 27th place in the table. However, a gap of one point from the 24th line still leaves good chances for the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Eguliz, Prados, I. Williams and Sunset are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Athletic have scored just one victory in their last four league matches.

2.25Tip and bets
Barcelona scored a very difficult victory over Celta in the last round and took advantage of Real Madrid's mistake, managing to reduce the gap from creamy to three points. Today, the blue-garnet team will probably also be as determined as possible, especially since for the first time in a long time they will have to play at Camp Nou. Athletic is not stable, does not look far from the best in the game, is inferior in class, and is traditionally vulnerable in away matches – it is unlikely that the favorite will have problems with a confident victory.
We believe that the guests have no chance. The betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Barcelona. This bet is offered for 2.15
Bet on the total
Barcelona is playing openly and today it will clearly be determined only to win – it makes sense to expect that the Catalans will immediately move forward with great strength. In the last three matches, the blue-Garnet scored 10 goals against their opponents, and Athletic's not the most stable defense will obviously have problems. At the same time, Barcelona makes a lot of productive mistakes, conceding in 10 matches in a row, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.69
Combined bid
Barcelona is chasing Real Madrid and has managed to reduce the gap from its main competitor to three points, but any mistake in such a situation can be very costly. It is obvious that the blue-garnet players will be maximally motivated and charged only for victory today -it is unlikely that Athletic, which is on the decline, has a real chance to get points. At the same time, Barcelona is vulnerable in defense and concedes in 10 consecutive matches, it will be very difficult to beat the Basques dry.
The bet is Barcelona's victory and both will score. This bet is offered for 2.65
