FC Barcelona lead the La Liga table by six points, but are far from sure of themselves. The Catalans have won all LaLiga games except for one slip against Almeria (0-1) in 2023. Most recently there was a tight 1-0 win against Valencia. Leaving in the Europa League against Manchester United should still hurt a little. Accordingly, Barca has won only two of the last four games across all competitions.

The hosts from Bilbao are in ninth place in the table and urgently need to score points in order not to lose touch with the international ranks completely. Most recently, however, the Basques were not in good shape. In the last La Liga games there were two defeats against Atlético (0:1) and Girona (2:3). Athletic also drew 0-0 against Vallocano.
