Premium Tips
Barcelona have started the season in devastating form and are fancied to sweep aside an Athletic side short on confidence.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Raphinha anytime scorer | 10/11 | Barcelona’s talisman has started the season flying and is their most likely source of goals against a leaky Athletic defence. |
| Over 3.5 goals | 11/10 | Barcelona put five past Elche last time out and should have far too much firepower again at the Camp Nou. |

How Barcelona go into the game
Barcelona could hardly have made a better start, thrashing Elche 5-0 away from home on the opening weekend. Hansi Flick’s champions are flying and, back at the Camp Nou, will expect to put on another show in front of their own supporters.
How Athletic Club go into the game
Athletic Club, by contrast, were beaten 3-1 at home by Sevilla in their opener and travel to Catalonia under early pressure. Ernesto Valverde’s side will need to be at their very best to take anything from the Camp Nou.
Barcelona vs Athletic Club head-to-head
Barcelona have dominated this fixture, winning five of the last six meetings and losing none, scoring 11 goals to Athletic’s one. That includes a 4-0 win at the Camp Nou last November and a 1-0 win in Bilbao in March.
