Leading the Spanish Primera Division by the slightest of margins, FC Barcelona have a difficult task at hand this week as they travel to Athletic Bilbao in the hope of retaining it’s top spot.
Athletic Bilbao is currently middle of the table with 5 victories in the league so far in 10 matches played but a negative goal ration of -2 and a slight rise in form with the last 2 games won but an important factor both against teams from the bottom of the standings, Atletico Madrid and Racing Santander.
They have a pretty decent record at home this season as in 5 matches played they won 3 and lost 2 to Sevilla and Sporting Gijon.
Barcelona as in previous week not managing to separate themselves from second Real Madrid by a comfortable margin, with only one point to spare the victory here is a must.
The only points lost by them this season where in the last 2 matches played away, a goalless draw against Valencia followed by a 1-1 to Osasuna and as Real has a relatively easy game home with Santander they cannot afford anything but a victory.
My pick: Barcelona to win
