Barcelona – Athletic Bilbao Tip La Liga, Matchday 13 on Saturday, 22/11/25 at 16:15
Just as we will stay tuned for you on the subject of free bets without deposit, the Catalans will have to follow the league leader at every turn if they are to defend their title.
The question you are probably asking yourself in the meantime is whether Hansi Flick has plugged the huge defensive leak in his defensive line in the meantime. His team has not kept a clean sheet for 10 competitive games and the hat-trick against Bruges probably still haunts him!
Meanwhile, my Barcelona Athletic Bilbao tip is primarily based on the assumption that they will beat the Basques according to the same pattern as in all three joint duels from the successful previous season.
Barcelona vs. Athletic Bilbao AI Predictions:
Of the seven goals Barca scored against Bilbao in all competitions last season, two were scored by Lamine Yamal, while three were scored by Robert Lewandowski.
Our Barcelona Athletic Bilbao AI prediction recommends both players to me equally, but personally I prefer to sort out the youngster, who was injured during the international break.
Lewandowski scores at odds of around 1.77 at Bet365 Germany has much more substance in my eyes. Especially since the veteran Poland could have almost single-handedly shot to the 2026 World Cup last week with his many goal involvements …

Victory Barcelona without conceding a goal is also not a bad suggestion. Yes, the Catalans have had to take quite a lot of punishment recently, but the international break could also have allowed for some improvements in defensive behaviour.
By the way, do you want to hear a good statistical reason why the combined odds of about 2.62 traded in this context could actually be something for you?
Hold on tight: The Basques have not scored a goal at all in seven cases during their last 8 La Liga duels against the Blaugrana. So there were numerous precedents for a clean sheet victory for FCB during this period!
