Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao Betting Tips - Barca too strong for Bilbao

Barcelona entertain Athletic Bilbao in La Liga at the Nou Camp on Tuesday. Barcelona need the three points to keep their hunt for the title going, while their highly-impressive defensive showings of late are being backed to continue.

Barcelona are in decent form with two victories from their last three fixtures. Their first clash after the lockdown break ended in a 4-0 thrashing of Mallorca and was quickly followed by a 2-0 success at the Camp Nou over Leganes.

Their last game ended in a 0-0 draw away at Sevilla. Barcelona had the better of the play in the clash, but Sevilla's defence stood firm.

Central midfielder Frenkie de Jong joins winger Ousmane Dembele on the sidelines through injury. Right-back Sergi Roberto remains out with a fractured rib, but his return is expected soon. 

Arturo Vidal and Sergio Busquets will both miss the match through suspension. 

Athletic Bilbao have not enjoyed an easy time of it since returning to action. They drew 1-1 at home with Atletico Madrid, before drawing 2-2 away at Eibar.

Bilboa did manage to grab a 1-0 win over Real Betis at the San Mames Stadium in their previous fixture. Inigo Martinez scored what turned out to be the winner in the seventh minute of the game.

Athletic Bilbao have a full squad available for selection.

The clubs have clashed 177 times, with Barcelona holding an 87-60 advantage with 30 draws.

The prvious game between the sides was at the San Mames Barria and saw Barcelona lose 1-0 in the Copa Del Rey.

Barcelona are available at 1.36 to win, while Athletic Bilbao are priced at 8.00. A draw pays 5.00.

Barcelona should prove far too strong for Athletic Bilboa at Camp Nou. Barca have kept four clean sheets in a row in La Liga, and that could well become five on Tuesday.
