Barcelona will win against Athletic Bilbao and make their point 31 tonight. Athletic Bilbao has a strong defensive line and especially at home they don't concede goals much. Barcelona may have trouble finding first goal but if they find it early, the match would be easier for them.
I don't expect a surprise here, just take Barcelona bet and stay away from over goal bets. Even 1-0 would be enough for Barcelona.

Interesting statistics. Barcelona have not won any of their last 3 matches in Bilbao. 2 games ended 1-0 and one ended in a draw. This match is worth watching. But now Athletic Bilbao is not very good and Barcelona has a chance to change the negative statistics. ...
Athletic Bilbao - Barcelona
this is an excellent opportunity for barcelona to get closer to the top 3 places. if barcelona misses this great opportunity then this season they can be well below the first 3 places and i think everyone in barcelona knows that.

I hope this happens, Alaba has turned down a new contract offer from Bayern Munich. However, reportedly Barcelona and Manchester United are interested in signing him. The last news I read, the agent from Alaba has even spoken to Barca. But we know that Barca is going through a financial crisis, so I think it's still Manchester United who are Madrid's rivals. But Manchester United is not at UCL this time, so Madrid have more chances.
Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are in troubles with financial conditions and results in leagues. I don't see the reasons for Alaba to leave a strong club and join a troubling club without any big financial incentive. That I don't think Barcelona and Real Madrid will be able to give a good contract for Alaba.Manchester United has better conditions than Barcelona and Real Madrid. They are getting good results after the transfer of Bruno Fernandes and with Alaba, they will have another great piece to finish their squad. Man Utd. also can satisfy the salary request from Alaba. Also I think Alaba can adapt to play good in Premier League.
David Alaba is very good player as he can play and play well in diversifying positions on field: from left swing, central defender to central midfielder. Alaba also has powerful distant shots and he scored many goals outside the 16.5 meter area.
Do Bayern Munich really let him go?

Really Alaba is still free? I thought that he was already agreed with Barcelona. In any case, is a very good addition to any team and just because he doesn't sign a new contract with Bayern, doesn't mean that Bayern "let him go".

Agreed with you Barcelona is not in superb form like before I also passing them to stake my amount them because of insane odds as compare with the performance which is really horrible. So that there are pretty low chances of them to make comeback with current game style they have to make new strategy to boost their confidence otherwise it becoming much harder for them to win the trophy of this season.
And still, somehow, against Athletic Bilbao, the bookies are only giving Barca 1.6x today, so strange, I mean we barely got past our last game, drew the previous, and still we're stacked as the clear favorites.
I'm still also the idiot who'll place some bets on them tonight:)

Even though Barcelona are unbeaten in the last 6 matches, there is no guarantee that they will win the match against Bilbao.
Yep, in the last match (against Huesca), Barcelona only made 1 goal although they make many chances to score. It indicates they still cannot play effectively. Also, we don't underestimate Athletic Club, it is a better team than Huesca. So, it shouldn't be easier to defeat them, especially when they play at their home. Sure, no guarantee for Barcelona to win, instead they probably get difficulties, and not impossible to lose 3 points this time.

Tomorrow night, we are going to see a match between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. Barcelona haven't been losing for six matches but they are really bad actually in general and I don't give them much chance here. Bilbao are really strong on their home games. I won't be surprised if they win this match.
Yeah, it will be difficult game, Athletic looks really good at home and games at San Mames always been tough for Barca, even if there is no spectators. By the way, Athletic sacked manager after win against Elche, what is a bit weird decision. And they already appointed Marcelino as new manager. Usually, new manager in first game works as boost for the team.My expectations this sesson is so low that I wouldn't be disappointed if we will reach draw tomorrow.

Even though Barcelona are unbeaten in the last 6 matches, there is no guarantee that they will win the match against Bilbao. I agree that
it is very possible that Bilbao can beat Barcelona, because if we look at Barcelona's overall appearance this season it is inconsistent.
And Messi's performance as a key player for Barcelona has declined considerably, so Barcelona must be careful in facing Bilbao.

I don't know many of the players in Barcelona's squad. It is like 10 years past and most of the players are new in a Football Manager game. 
We can clearly see Barcelona are too away from their old days. If Messi leaves now or at the end of the season too, I think Barcelona could even be in danger of relegating from La Liga in the future. Maybe I am exaggerating and I hope I am.
I agree and i dont really understund why the administration didnt make any deal during the mercato to bring players who can make barcelona great again...it's too frustrating to see barcelona in this situation We can clearly see Barcelona are too away from their old days. If Messi leaves now or at the end of the season too, I think Barcelona could even be in danger of relegating from La Liga in the future. Maybe I am exaggerating and I hope I am.-snip-
Seeing ATM, Sevilla, Villareal...etc grabbing top spots a year or two then finding them in mid-table is normal and could happen but seeing Real Madrid or Barca struggling to win vs weak teams is shameful. The excuses based on good players/coach left, many old players..etc is unacceptable. You have a whole decade to find and recruit new players to replace the old one to keep your team in top, you have the money, attractiveness and power to do so at the opposite of the other teams! Of course there are tons of games left, and of course Barcelona and Real Madrid will play a lot better and will get a lot more points and they could even be champions, however I doubt ATM will make things easy, they are going to try to keep the position until the end.

Everyone call Barcelona playing horrible this year, and they were seen as one of the "bad" teams of the season, and everyone wanted to even sell Messi at some point to start all over again in order to get better in the future believing this is doing horrible. Look at the situation right now, Barcelona is 5th in the league, sure not a great place for Barcelona right?
The situation of Barcelona is as same as of Manchester United a few weeks ago. People don't believe in 2 teams and one defeat causes criticism but a few wins don't improve belief on them.Manchester United climbs to the 2nd position in Premier League but still people don't believe in their strength (I do neither).

Well, they have 16 games and 28 points, who is above them? Villareal, they have 17 games and only 29 points, one more point ahead, even with a tie Barcelona would be same points, with a win they are above them. Who is above Villareal you may ask? Real Sociedad, team that looked like they were at the top for a very long time, what is their situation? They have 18 games, two more than Barcelona, and only have 30 points, 2 more points, with one win Barcelona will be over, with even another loss, but with two wins Barcelona would be 4 points ahead. So long story short Barcelona is destined for third place already, I think they are fine.
Barcelona is in rebuilding season and they have more weaknesses than they had in golden time. Their current results are acceptable if look at their situation (from board to player resources). Unfortunately, they are very big club and such results are not enough for their fans. They want season with 9 trophies back or Champions League trophy.They are similar to AC Milan one decade ago when they won their latest Scudetto with Ibrahimovic. After that, they slipped down in one decade and only come back too strong in Serie A 2020 - 2021.
Lol, it's ironic how a team that was once seeked for betting options with an almost sure win could be avoided this days. Just now I'm beginning to look at it from the angle that, Lionel Messi isn't at all good with young stars. As these stars are out to shine on the pitch and Messi is used to being fed as king in Barcelona.
There might be other issues but, I feel this is one major thing affecting the team. An advantage Real Madrid is failing to make proper use of but, Atletico Madrid is surely making waves with it. Either ending most of there games in a win or at least a draw to remain consistent.

Yeah, Barca's no longer a good bet unless it's 2x or more now, which is almost never the case except against Real or in UCL. The problem I think now is that bookies refuse to adjust odds properly.
Messi and young stars, I don't think so. Fati and others get along well with him. It's more the coaching.
