Match facts

Athletic Bilbao

  • Athletic have lost three successive league games against Barcelona; they have not lost four in a row since 2000 (5).
  • Los Rojiblancos have only won one of their last nine league meetings with Barcelona in the San Mames (D4 L4).
  • Athletic and Barcelona have met eight times on the opening day in La Liga before, with the Basque side winning just once, 3-1 in 1949/50 (D2 L5).
  • Athletic have only won one of their last six openers when starting at home (D3 L2), 1-0 v Espanyol in 2009/10.

Barcelona

  • Barcelona have started with a win in each of the last six campaigns, scoring 26 times and conceding just once.
  • Luis Enrique’s side have kept clean sheets in six of their last seven league games, conceding only in the last one against Deportivo.
  • Barcelona have scored more goals against Athletic than any other opponent in La Liga history (319).
  • Messi has participated in six of his team’s last eight league goals against Athletic (two goals, four assists).

Predictions

As shocking as the Super Cup outcome was, it was even more stunning given how many key players were injured for Bilbao. Star midfielders Iker Muniain and Ander Iturraspe will likely miss the opener, too.

Surely Bilbao won't destroy Barcelona like they did in their previous home match, but another draw could be on the cards.

If neymar is going to be there, Barca will be unstoppable. However, it will be interesting to see how barca will cope without the complete "MSN" forwards in this match given their previous meetings.
