Athletic Club Looking to Return to Winning Ways After 1-3 Defeat at Real Betis Last Time Out
In their last five matches, Barcelona have won four times with Athletic winning once. This trend highlights Barcelona as the football pick to win this match on Sunday.
Athletic Bilbao’s fight for the top four suffered a blow last Sunday when they lost 1-3 away to Real Betis. The loss saw Nico Williams sent off in the 40th minute, with Bilbao going 2-0 down at this point.
Athletic Club will adopt a mixed approach between pragmatism when they are out of possession and rapid attacks when they are in possession. This will allow them to be defensively compact while posing an attacking threat.
