Barcelona vs Bilbao Match Preview:  A must-win game for the Catalans
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Barcelona will be desperate to get into the winning ways when they face the Basque club Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday at 8.00 pm GMT in Camp Nou. Here is our exclusive Barcelona vs Bilbao Match Preview for you.

Overview

The Catalan side faced a halt in their title chase after they drew goalless with Sevilla and Real Madrid secured 2-1 victory against Sociedad. Both the teams are currently in 65 points but Los Blancos stands on the top of the table due to better head to head record. Bilbao on the other hand having a decent La Liga campaign and a win could bring them in for the Europa League qualification fight.

Barcelona’s last match performance against Sevilla was not great. Though they dominated possession they failed to create open chances against Sevilla’s defense. Setien should look into this matter immediately. Or else they will also suffer today against Bilbao. The forward line of Messi Suarez and Griezmann is arguably the best in the league and Barca will heavily rely on them for goals. Inclusion of Martin Braithwaite in the second half can also favor Barcelona as he can capitalize on tiring legs.

For Bilbao Inaki Willams is in a great form and visitors will expect him to fire one or two. But he will need the support from Muniain and Raul Garcia. Defenders like Unai Nunez, Ander Capa have to give their hundred percent to keep Barca forwards silent.
