Match between Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao.
I already publish this forecast because I would not be surprised if the quota were lowered.
The basis of this pick is that Barcelona plays Champions 4 days later, and after the statements of Messi and Barcelona will go for the Champions where they play a very important game where if they win they will have a considerable advantage over the rest.
Unlike other years that when there were these weeks full of games where Barcelona also did not reserve anyone for the Champions League and played the majority of starters in the previous game, the players arrived a little tired. So this season has already seen players like Suarez in a press conference admitting that he wanted to play everything, but now he understands that it should be dosed a little to get in the best conditions to the important matches.
I’m not saying that Barcelona will take an 11 substitute but if I hope that Valverde rest players like Rakitic, Coutinho, Busquets or the most likely I see is to be Dembelé substitute, as it will come more frequent to the game and by the way you give him more minutes Arturo Vidal. I think this game will be an occasion for less usual players like Rafinha, Malcolm.
I would not be surprised if Barcelona started to rotate in the previous match against Leganes.
This is the main reason, that Barcelona has Champions and this week has two league games.
Unlike Barcelona, the Atletic Club of Bilbao does not have any matches since last season did not qualify for Europe.
Well if we get into this game we have two teams still undefeated (maybe one of them will lose in the previous day, so you will not have to pay attention to this comment).
Barcelona is good at Bilbao and more when playing at home, where in the last 20 games played at the Camp Nou Bilbao has not managed to win any of them, but this line would have left 14 times and 6 times would not have come out, so H2H favors us.
The Bilbao comes from playing a good game against Betis especially the first half hour, where he made an impressive pressure, in the second half they relaxed and tied them.
As last, on this day the Madrid derby is played so Barcelona know that it can be a very good opportunity to get away from Madrid if Atlético scratches him a point, so it is clear that Barcelona will come out to win, but I’m very surprised that I won by a difference of 3 goals for what I already commented. We can lose up to two goals.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.30
