Athletic Bilbao have a solid season. They recently fell on the table, but Athletic Bilbao still have a good chance to play in one of the European Cups next season. They have one draw and three losses in the last four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Athletic Bilbao played 0-0 on the road against Rayo Vallecano. That match was fairly even, so it is no wonder the teams split the points.
Athletic Bilbao have problems with scoring goals. They scored only two goals in the last four matches. Also, three of those four games went under 2.5 goals.
Barcelona are the best Spanish team this season. They are nine points ahead of Real Madrid, so Xavi's team has a good chance of winning the title. Barcelona had two losses in a row, but since then, they won two matches, so their form is again improving. Last weekend, Barcelona won 1-0 at home against Valencia. The home side created much more quality goal-scoring chances, so they deserved another win.
Barcelona have a good defense. They allowed only three goals in the last five matches. Also, four of those five games went under 2.5 goals.
Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona pick: Under 2.5 goals
Under 2.5 goals should be the best choice for this tie. Athletic Bilbao are struggling to score, while Barcelona have the best defense in the competition.

Athletic Bilbao Team News
Athletic Bilbao will be weaker than usual against Barcelona because Oihan Sancet will not play due to suspension. The young attacking midfielder scored eight goals this season, so it will be hard for Athletic Bilbao to replace him. Jon Morcillo and Unai Simon will not play due to injuries, while Ander Herrera is questionable. The only good news is that Yeray Alvarez should return to the starting lineup.
