Barcelona Predicted Lineup vs Athletic Club Preview

Barcelona has an impressive record against Athletic Club in La Liga, having gone unbeaten in their last 22 home games. Their last loss against Athletic Club at home was back in November 2001, under the management of Carles Rexach.

This is their longest undefeated streak at home against the Basque side in the competition. Athletic Club has struggled in their recent encounters with Barcelona in La Liga, winning only one out of their last 21 meetings (D4 L16).

Their sole victory came in August 2019 at San Mamés, where they secured a narrow 1-0 win. This memorable match saw Aritz Aduriz score his 158th career goal in the competition, solidifying his position as the 20th all-time top scorer.

FC Barcelona has been consistently finding the back of the net in their previous 39 home games against Athletic Club in La Liga, amassing a total of 108 goals. They have only had a longer home scoring streak in the history of the competition against Celta de Vigo (45 between 1942 and 2014).

Barcelona’s recent form in La Liga has been impressive, with five consecutive victories. This is their best run since January and February 2023, when Xavi Hernández was in charge and they won seven matches in a row.

Following the 1-1 draw against Getafe on MD1, Athletic has the chance to draw their first two games of a La Liga season for the third time in the 21st century. This feat was previously achieved in 2004/05 under Ernesto Valverde and 2021/22 under Marcelino García Toral.
