Athletic Bilbao

Athletic Bilbao are one of the traditional team on La Liga. Their overall strength has not been changed significantly from the transfer window. In the first round of the new season, Athletic Bilbao played as away side to challenge Elche, and only ended the game with 0:0, being in dissatisfying forms.



FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the most famous clubs in La Liga, but their performance has been deteriorating in recent years, and Messi's departure has made the team even more traumatic. In first round, they seem to be in good forms and beat Real Sociedad with 4:2. What they lack most is stability.

And Athletic Bilbao’s overall strength has not improved compared to last season, and the team is in general condition. Moreover, the odds are tending to FC Barcelona obviously, therefore, here support a home victory in this round.
