The famous “Spotify Camp Nou” arena will host the players from Bilbao on November 22 at 18:15. The game will be held as part of the regular Spanish La Liga football championship. “Barcelona” has not yet lost at home. The “Athletic Bilbao” team will not have it easy.
Team Form
Barcelona is performing well in La Liga, but results in European competitions are modest so far, and the latest defeat in “El Clásico” left its mark on the players’ mood. “Athletic B” has not yet managed to find its game. They are performing inconsistently. Both teams are experiencing lineup difficulties.
Barcelona
28 points in 12 rounds and the current second place in the Spanish championship, trailing their main rival “Real” by 3 points. The last two big wins over “Elche” and “Celta” allowed the players to recover a bit from the “El Clásico” defeat, but “Barça” has consistently conceded at least 1 goal in the last 10 games, which indicates problems in defense.
Athletic B
By goal difference the team shares 7th and 8th places with 17 points gained over the past rounds with “Getafe.” The top of the league table is very tight and the point difference is minimal. With a favorable outcome, “Athletic B” will return to the European competition zone and into the top six La Liga teams. But the visitors’ play is very unstable, and “Barça’s” home arena has not yet been conquered by anyone since the very first round.
Probable Lineups
Barcelona lineup
4-3-3 - Wojciech Szczesny, Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araújo, Pau Cubarsí, Eric García, Fermín López (Casadó is probable), Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, Robert Lewandowski, Marcus Rashford, Lamine Yamal.
More accurate information on the teams’ lineups will be available immediately before the match. There is a chance that Marc Casadó and Raphinha will have time to recover before the match and return to action.
Statistics for the Last 5 Matches
The last 5 La Liga games caused a very mixed reaction among “Barcelona” fans. A heavy defeat to “Sevilla” and a defeat in “El Clásico” upset them greatly. But there were also three wins in which “Barça” scored an average of three goals. The situation is worse for the visitors. They lost two games, won two, and drew one.
Head-to-Head Statistics
Three wins for “Barcelona,” one draw, and one win for “Athletic B,” but what a win. It is still discussed by the fans. This game took place in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey on January 24, 2024. Then, in a fierce battle, regular time ended 2:2, and in extra time “Athletic B” scored two more unanswered goals into the opponents’ net.
