LiontipsBarcelona - Athletic: betting tip (cf 2.75) and bets on the Spanish Super Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Barcelona, without any doubt, set itself maximum goals before the start of the season in all the tournaments in which it participated, the status and selection of players obliged the Catalans to have such serious ambitions. In the championship, Hansi Flick's team did not start too confidently and tried to catch up with Real Madrid for a long time, but in the end they waited for the cream to decline.
Barcelona currently leads the table with 49 points and is four points ahead of the second Real Madrid handicap. Villarreal and Atletico are 11 points away, but the yellow submarine has two matches left. Having beaten Espanyol 2-0 in the derby in the last round, the blue-garnet scored their eighth victory in a row.
If Barcelona has no serious problems in the championship and the Spanish Cup so far, then in the Champions League the Catalans are clearly lower than planned after six rounds. At the moment, the blue-garnet team occupy the 15th place in the table with 10 points and are two points behind the eighth Atletico - there is no room for error in the last two rounds, but they cannot guarantee a direct ticket to the playoffs with two wins.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gavi and Christensen are injured. Araujo's participation in the match is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Barcelona have won the last eight matches.
- Barcelona has beaten Athletic in the last four matches.
- Barcelona have not conceded in the last four matches.
Approximate composition: Garcia — Cunde, Cubarsi, Martin, Balde — Pedri, E. Garcia — Yamal, Lopez, Rafinha – Torres.
Current form
Athletic showed wonders of stability last season and confidently took the fourth place, having managed to complete the tasks set. This season, Ernesto Valverde's team clearly set themselves no less ambitious goals and the selection of players made it possible to solve them, but already at the start of the season, the basques showed that they were unlikely to be able to repeat their success.
At the moment, Athletic is in eighth place in the table with 24 points and four points behind sixth-placed Betis, and such a handicap is not significant, but at the same time, fourth-placed Atletico is already ahead by 14 points and it will be very difficult to win back such a handicap. By drawing 1-1 away to Osasuna in the last round, Athletic extended their winless streak to three matches.
Athletic also frankly failed in the Champions League and is still outside the playoff zone. After six rounds, the Basques occupy only the 28th place in the table with five points and are two points behind the 24th Copenhagen, such a handicap still leaves a chance of success. In the last two rounds of the league stage, the red and white will have to play against Atalanta and Sporting.
Disqualifications and injuries
Eguliz, Prados and Sannadi are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Athletic have not won in their last five matches, with two defeats and three draws.
- Athletic have conceded in three of their last four matches.
- Athletic have not scored against Barcelona in their last three matches.
Approximate line–up: Simon – Areso, Paredes, Vivian, Leke – Jauregisar, Galareta - I. Williams, Sunset, N. Williams – Guruseta.

2.25Tip and bets
Barcelona has gained excellent form recently and is absolutely deservedly the favorite today in the confrontation with Athletic, which, to put it mildly, is very far from its best condition. The Catalans also have a huge advantage in class, they will have plenty of motivation, and in the last face-to-face meetings, the basques did not create problems. It makes sense to give preference to the favorite today and count on his confident victory, Barcelona is objectively stronger today.
We believe that the Basques have no chance. The betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Barcelona. This bet is offered for 1.79
Bet on the total
Barcelona has not been very productive lately, but at the same time it scores several goals in every match and today it will probably also be as aggressive as possible ahead. Athletic has frankly little chance of winning back against such an opponent, and the Basques are not particularly reliable in defense. At the same time, the red and white have nothing to lose, Athletic will probably also take risks, and it makes sense to count on productive football in such a match.
The bet is a total of more than three goals. This bet is offered for 1.80
Combined bid
Barcelona will certainly strive to formalize the victory and make it to the Super Cup final today. The task as a whole is not the most difficult for the Catalans, and of course the blue-garnet team are the undisputed favorites – Athletic is very far from optimal shape. The Catalans are quite capable of winning, and it will certainly turn out to be confident, but at the same time the Basques will obviously take risks and will not close themselves in defense, it will be very difficult to beat Athletic dry.
The bet is Barcelona's victory and both will score. This bet is offered for 2.75
