With Barcelona trailing rivals Real Madrid by one point at the top of the table this trip to Athletic Bilbao more important that usual for the economy of the season.

Athletic Bilbao currently on the 9th spot of the table, a comfortable position for them as the team is used to this mid standing spot but their margin above the relegation zone is slim with only 5 points separating them from the danger zone.

Two victories for Athletic Bilbao in their last 3 games would make up for a good morale but against an adversary such as Barcelona they will probably play a defensive game hoping for a draw.

Barcelona still in the shadow of their great rival as they have a total of 24 points in 10 Primera Division games played and are separated by just one point from real Madrid with Valencia moving in to third with the same number of points but 11 games played.

Incredible streak for Barcelona, the team known for it’s offensive force has not conceded any goals in the past 9 fixtures played in all competition.

My pick:  Barcelona to win ( under 2.5 goals )

With bitter rivals Barcelona facing a very difficult trip to Sevilla this Saturday, Real Madrid will want nothing but a victory at home against Athletic Bilbao.

Real Madrid are trailing first spot holders Barcelona by only one point and after a superb victory away to Mallorca, they only need for their rivals to lose or make a draw for them to take the first place and with it the champions title after 2 more rounds.

They still hold a superb record on Santiago Bernabeu with 17 victories and one painful defeat in El Clasico with a goal ratio of 55 scored and 17 conceded.

Athletic Bilbao is 8th is the table with a total of 51 points, only 1 point separating them for a spot in next season’s Europa League preliminaries making them highly motivated to tackle any opponent.

No victories for them in the last 5 matches played in the Spanish Primera Division, claiming only 3 points from them and falling rapidly in the ranks. Their away statistic is as modest as their position with only 4 victories and 5 draws in all 18 played making a victory on Real’s pitch highly unlikely.

My pick: Real Madrid to win
