Athletic Club vs Barcelona Preview: Probable Lineups, Prediction ... (The Hard Tackle)

La Liga leaders Barcelona will travel to square up vs Athletic Club in search of their 21st win in the league on Sunday.

Barcelona have the best defence in the league. Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde will start as the full-backs, while Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen will team up in the centre of the defence. He has nine goal contributions to his name and will look to add to it when he takes the field against Athletic Club. They will look to control the ball as well help out their defence against a deadly Barcelona attack. They will be confident of claiming all three points when they travel to San Mames given their track record in the league. While the duo of Unai Simon and Ander Herrera are in doubt for this fixture against the league leaders. Barcelona have had a mixed bag of results in the last five fixtures in all competitions. The home team have only managed to accumulate seven points in their last five league outings, and it has been a major blow to their hopes of qualifying for any of the European competitions. They have the best defensive record in the league, having conceded just eight goals. However, Athletic Club will have to be better vs Barcelona if they want to secure any points of this fixture. However, they can still push for a European spot with a late surge in the league. Barcelona are all set to hit the road to square up vs Athletic Club.

Three talking points ahead of Athletic Club vs Barcelona (Barca Universal)

Xavi Hernandez takes on former Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde's Athletic Club on Sunday night in La Liga's premier clash of Matchday 25.

Given that Dembele is unavailable for the weekend’s clash, it remains to be seen how the visitors fare in his absence. In that sense, Sunday night’s clash would be the final big test on the road for Xavi’s men. His sacrifice might well be the reason Barcelona walked away with three points on the day. Suspensions on both the bench and the field handicapped Barcelona in their previous clash league game. Further, Xavi will return on the pitchside for the trip to San Mames, taking over from his brother Oscar Hernandez. Expect an end-to-end and open game on Sunday, for neither side believes in the ideology of defending deep.
