"Getting this weekend's fixtures underway sat three points adrift of arch-rivals Real Madrid and reclaiming their spot at the top of the La Liga table, Hansi Flick's men will know the importance of making a domestic statement here. Despite claiming a much-welcomed boost prior to November's fortnight interval, Bilbao have drastically failed to find any kind of stability this season and they look set for another stern examination on Saturday."
"Last seen heading into November's international break with an action-packed 4-2 victory away at Celta Vigo, Flick's defending champions will also be excited to make a return to Catalonia this weekend. Gaining a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, the former Bayern Munich boss has seen his superstar squad win all of their previous three consecutive showdowns on home soil by an aggregate score of 11-3."
Barcelona return from the international break three points behind Real Madrid and seeking to reclaim the La Liga top spot. Hansi Flick's side won 4-2 at Celta Vigo and have scored freely at home, winning their last three home matches by an aggregate 11-3. The team has won six of seven home fixtures across all competitions and suffered only one domestic home defeat this calendar year. Lamine Yamal has continued his strong scoring run, finding the net in each of his last three appearances. Athletic Bilbao have failed to find stability this season and face a stern test.
