La Liga | Gameweek 27,Can Barcelona survive the away game?
Athletic Bilbao, having won only one of their last three matches, suffered their first La Liga loss since January 20 in a 3-1 defeat to Real Betis last weekend. Despite this setback, they currently hold the fifth spot in the table, seven points ahead of sixth-placed Real Betis and three points behind Atletico in fourth. Athletic is actively vying for a Champions League finish, a feat they haven't achieved in a decade, having finished eighth in the past two campaigns. With an impressive home record, earning 32 points from 13 matches and securing 10 wins, Valverde's side is poised for success in this upcoming match.
Barcelona enters the match with a six-game unbeaten run, winning four and drawing two since Xavi's announcement of stepping down as head coach. While Deco has left the door open for Xavi to stay, the coach reaffirmed his decision. In Champions League, Barcelona drew 1-1 with Napoli in the last-16 first leg, and they're in contention for the next round. In La Liga, they've won their last two matches and sit third, two points behind second-placed Girona and eight from leaders Real Madrid. Notably, Barcelona is undefeated on the road in La Liga this season, with the third-best away record in the division.
