Barcelona vs. Bilbao Odds
Game Preview
This is the first La Liga fixture for Barcelona at Camp Nou this year. The Spanish champions have opened the season with a 0-5 win on the road in Elche, where they demolished the hosts.
Fermin and Raphinha scored two goals each, while the newcomer from Dortmund, Karim Adeyemi, netted a goal as well on his official debut. Another newcomer, Anthony Gordon, posted two assists, while Raphinha added one as well.
Athletic started with a loss. Sevilla came to San Mames and won 1-3. To be honest, this is something that only a few expected. Berchiche’s red card in the 13th minute decided the match.
After that, Bilbao simply couldn’t recover, and everything fell apart. Nico Williams still isn’t 100% fit after his World Cup participation and is unsure whether he will start against Barcelona.
Barcelona vs. Bilbao Head to Head
Right now, Barcelona is on a 19-game streak without a loss against Athletic. The La Liga champions have beaten their rivals from Bilbao in the last 6 consecutive matches, keeping clean sheets in the past 5.
In the 2025/26 season, we saw them win 4-0 at home and 0-1 on the road in league encounters. In between, they would smash Bilbao 5-0 in the Super Cup.
Barcelona vs. Bilbao Predictions
Gavi is questionable, Rodri won’t start, but anyway, Barcelona is a huge favorite here. They are playing at home and have enough depth to overcome any problem or injury issue. That’s why we take Barca to cover a 1.5-goal spread.
