Having won only six games throughout the 2014-2015 season, Athletic Bilbao will host Barcelona in a match that always brings out the best of both teams.
Ernesto Valverde's men will try to improve their current 12th spot in La Liga's standings, building their hopes upon Aritz Aduriz's performance. The Basque striker has scored three times in his latest two games, and has always shown top form when required against an opponent as big as Barcelona. Even with their current home-field advantage, the San Mamés Lions will try to improve their record against Barcelona, since Los Culés have won two matches out of the last six against their hosts, with three drawn games and one victory for the red-and-white.
On the other hand, Los Blaugranas will try to shorten the gap between them and Real Madrid, who lost against Atletico Madrid with a shocking 4-0 score. If Luis Enrique's team manage to win three points, they will only trail Real Madrid by one point with an upcoming clash between the two sides. Los Culés will rely on their MSN attack, expecting Luis Suarez can finally show his class after his multi-million deal with the Catalunyans.
Athletic and Barcelona met for the first time this season on September 13, 2014. During that match, Neymar had to come off the bench to score a brace for Los Blaugranas, who ended up winning the game. A win for Barcelona on Sunday would represent the 23rd victory against Bilbao in the last 24 matches considering every competition.
