Ath Bilbao vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips (25 May)

The Athletic Bilbao had great ambitions this season: qualify for the Champions League and win the Europa League at home in San Mamés. If their European ambitions ended with a heavy defeat experienced in the semi-finals against Manchester United on the two games 1-7 in the cumulative, the men of Ernesto Valverde figured very well in the championship. Solid 4th in the ranking, the Basques will no longer be able to be dislodged by competition and they will compete well the C1 next season. Bilbao players have won their last 3 games in La Liga against Deportivo Alavés 1-0 , Getafe 0-2 and Valence 0-1 last week. Note that this team has not conceded the slightest goal for 5 days in La Liga and only 2 in the last 10 days. Champion of Spain in 2023, FC Barcelona presented the cover this year by establishing itself as the best training in the championship.

Logically in front of his Madrid rival in the standings, Barça even decided to win everything on the national level this season with the Spanish Supercopa and the King's Cup where he got rid of Real Madrid each time. The Blaugrana, however, missed the mark in the Champions League where they were defeated in the semi-finals by Inter Milan 6-7 in the cumulative. Sacred after their successes won against Real Madrid 4-3 and Espanyol 0-2, the Catalans, on the other hand, fell in front of Villarreal 2-3 last week. A defeat that did not prevent them from celebrating the title before their supporters.

The Athletic Bilbao may no longer see Nico Williams wearing his jersey. The winger often announced in Arsenal or FC Barcelona would suffer from pubalgia and he will not play against his friend Lamine Yamal today. His big brother Inaki Williams will be back as a holder after getting out of the bench in Valence last weekend. Note that the central defender Yeray Alvarez is still suffering for this final day of Liga. A big hat to Oihan Sancet (15 goals in 28 appearances this season in Liga) which was not helped by injuries this season but which is still likely to appear in the typical team of the Liga season. It is also necessary to underline the beautiful seasons of Alex Berenguer (6 goals, 7 assists) and Guruzeta (7 achievements, 2 assists). At FC Barcelona, ​​the French international Jules Koundé is still on the side like Marc Bernal who is gradually recovering from his breakdown of the crossed ligaments.

Ronald Araujo could also stay at the infirmary while the excellent Ferran Torres (10 goals, 6 assists in Liga) was recently the victim of an appendicitis and he will not replay before next season. The Lamine Yamal prodigy (9 goals, 13 assists in Liga) still sent a Golaso ​​of Darkness against Villarreal a few days after that registered against Espanyol Barcelona. The Spanish genius should probably recover the famous number 10 next season. The probable compositions for Athletic Bilbao - FC Barcelona: Athletic Bilbao: Simon - D.Marcos, Vivian, Paredes, Berchiche - Jauregiz, Galarreta - Inaki Williams, Sancet, Berenguer - Sannadi (or Guruzeta) .FC Barcelona: Ter -Stegen - Garcia, Martinez De Jong, Pedri - Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha - Lewandowski .
