Barcelona to Win
While Athletic Bilbao is one of the traditionally most difficult teams to beat at home, our first Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona prediction is for the guests to take all three points.
After all, Barcelona is having a fantastic season in La Liga and they are currently on a good pace to win the title. Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, is near the middle of the standings and not in such great form, so it makes sense to go with Blaugrana here.
Robert Lewandowski to Score at Any Time
Since we expect the guests to win this game, they will obviously have to score a goal or more to achieve this and that is Robert Lewandowski's job that he performs to perfection.
The Polish forward has been amazing this season in La Liga, scoring fifteen goals in twenty matches. So, our second Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona prediction is for Robert Lewandowski to score at any time.

Athletic Bilbao – Barcelona Preview: Team News, Form, and Probable Lineups
Read all of the injury updates and news for this duel and our predicted Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona lineups.
Athletic Bilbao
With two wins, one draw, and three losses in the last six games in La Liga, Athletic Bilbao is clearly not in the best of forms at the moment. Overall, the Basque team has 33 points from 24 games, which puts them in the top half of the standings and in the race for a spot in Europe next season, although their probably better chance is Copa del Rey, where they have reached semi finals.
Meanwhile, Unai Simon, Jon Morcillo, and Ander Herrera are out with injuries, while Oihan Sancet is suspended at this time.
Athletic Bilbao Predicted Lineup:
Agirrezabala – De Marcos, Vivian, I. Martinez, Lekue – Zarraga, Vesga – N. Williams, Muniain, I. Williams – Guruzeta
Barcelona
While Blaugrana had a dissapointing season in Europe where they were eliminated in group stages in Champions League and now they are also out of Europa League after losing to Man Utd, things have been very different on the domestic front. After all, Barcelona is currently first in La Liga with nine points more than Real Madrid and they are also in the semi finals of Copa del Rey, so there is a chance for a double.
When it comes to team news, Pedri and Ousmane Dembele are on the team's injury list still, while Ronald Araujo will miss this game to serve a suspension.
Barcelona Predicted Lineup:
Ter Stegen – Roberto, Kounde, Christensen, Balde – F. de Jong, Busquets, Kessie – Raphinha, Lewandowski, Gavi

Player to Watch: Robert Lewandowski
While many players on both teams deserve a lot of respect for their performances this season, one player stands out from all others and it's Robert Lewandowski, so he's our player to watch in this game.
After all, the Polish striker is the team's top goalscorer with fifteen goals in twenty La Liga appearances this season, to which he also added five assists, so Athletic Bilbao will have to find a way to stop him if they want to get a positive result in this match.
