The new season in Spain’s La Liga will take place on Friday (August 16th) with a match between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. Beın Sports channel will start broadcasting at 20:00.
Bilbao :
Athletic Bilbao, as we know, the Basque team, who finished 8th in La Liga last season in Spain, could not get European Cup tickets. In the transfer period, as we know, the team who transferred to the A team from the infrastructure and outside the Spanish players in the squad that do not reinforce the team Markel Susaeta, Ander Iturraspe, Alex Ramiro, Mikel Rico and Sabin Merino left the team. I think the most important work they have done so far during the transfer period was the 9-year new contract with Inaki Williams, the star of last season. Gaizka Garitono’s team, which had 8 matches in the preparatory camp, was only defeated once.
Barcelona :
Barcelona, as we know, completed the last season as champion in La Liga. Messi and Suarez again marked the league. Barcelona, whose staff is already full of stars, has made a very important transfer by adding Antonie Griezmann, who created wonders in Atletico Madrid last season. On the other hand, Frankie De Jong, Neto, and Junior Firpo, as well as adding names to the staff Barcelona, these players paid a total of 255 million euros as a testimonial. Malcom, Cillesen, Andre Gomes, Paco Alcacer, Denis Suarez, Sergi Palencia and Thomas Vermaelen left the team. In the last match in the preparatory camp in the last match of 4-0 with the students of Valverde’in the first match of the new season with a goal to start.
Barcelona, especially Athletic Bilbao is very difficult to move away, but the quality of the squad has raised the bar to the highest point. I expect to win against Bilbao in the first match of the season.
PREDICTION: Barcelona to win @ 1,77
