Will Barca Suffer Back-to-Back Defeats?

Bilbao are destined for a fourth-place finish after racking up 70 points from 37 games. They are three points behind Atletico Madrid in third and three points above fifth-place Villarreal. Ernesto Valverde’s troops have been strong this term, winning 19, drawing 13, and losing just five times in La Liga.

Barcelona’s hands are back on the league title in Spain. Hansi Flick’s men have been the real deal in 2025, dominating La Liga. Last week’s home loss to Villarreal was their first league defeat since December. Blaugrana secured the title with a 2-0 win at neighbours Espanyol.

No team in Spain’s top tier have suffered fewer defeats than Athletic Club this season. Valverde’s men have been extremely tough to topple, with only Real Madrid getting the better of the Lions in league action since early March. They are unbeaten at home in the league since August.

Barcelona have the best away record in La Liga, winning 13 of 18. Flick’s side have taken 42 points away from home, scoring 47 goals and losing just twice. The champions are undefeated on their travels in La Liga since November.

The Catalonian giants also won 2-0 in the Spanish Super Cup in January, with Gavi and Lamine Yamal getting the goals.

The Red and Whites from the Basque Country beat Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey last season, but their last league victory came in 2019. Barca have certainly had Bilbao’s number in recent years.
