More often than not, Athletic Bilbao play Barcelona tough. Admittedly, more so at their home stadium rather than the Camp Nou.

But they know how to get at the Catalans. Athletic Bilbao have scored five times in their last two matches. This match promises to have its fair share of goals.

Barcelona currently sit in third place. Three points behind Real Madrid and ten points behind Atletico Madrid. Their race for the top spot in the league is complicated enough. Any more points dropped will realistically see their title aspirations vanquished.

The club will never admit it but the goal this season should be to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League next season. A win is important not only for their confidence but to hold on to third place as Sevilla finds themselves only a point behind in fourth place.

Expected Lineup

Goalkeeper: Marc-Andre ter Stegen
Right-back: Sergi Roberto
Center-back: Ronald Araujo
Center-back: Clement Lenglet
Midfield: Frenkie de Jong
Midfield: Miralem Pjanic
Midfield: Pedri
Forward: Ousmane Dembélé
Forward: Lionel Messi
Forward: Antoine Griezmann
