Xavi’s Barcelona team welcome Atletico Bilbao to their home ground for a LaLiga show off this Sunday. The match takes place on the home turf of the host, Camp Nou, on Sunday, 23rd October 2022. Barcelona head into this tie on the back of an excellent 3-0 victory over Villarreal last midweek to get back to winning ways. The win over the yellow submarines was an excellent one In that it eradicated the pain of losing out in the El Clasico after a humbling defeat by Real Madrid this season that further dented their hope to challenge for the title.

Furthermore, the win over Villareal last time out for Barcelona got them back to winning ways. Thus, they will hope to maintain this tempo and momentum when they welcome Bilbao, who has not been in a good run of form in recent weeks. Atletico Bilbao head into this tie winless in three consecutive match games. Although they have had some notable victories so far this season, however, they lost the momentum they showed earlier on in the season to go on a dry spell in recent weeks, and this poor run of form has left them adrift of the host, 7 points away from Barcelona heading into this tie.

In this encounter, we are backing the home team to once again go for the win, especially after seeing off Villareal in a fabulous fashion last time out. We believe FC Barcelona’s resilience and trademark counterattacking football will be too hot to handle for the visitors, who head into this tie keeping just a clean sheet in seven consecutive meetings. In light of this, we are backing Xavis's army to once again achieve the match points over a team that has not won against them in LaLiga for as far back as 2019.

The tie between these two sides has always got to the wire. However, we expect Barcelona to again bring a dominant display to camp Nou to secure the match points at the end of the match time.

哈维的巴塞罗那队在本周日欢迎毕尔巴鄂竞技来到他们的主场，为他们的西甲联赛表演。这场比赛将于2022年10月23日(周日)在东道主诺坎普的主场举行。在上周中3-0大胜比利亚雷亚尔后，巴塞罗那再次回到了胜利的道路上。战胜黄色潜艇是一场精彩的胜利，因为它消除了在国家德比中落败的痛苦，本赛季被皇马击败，进一步削弱了他们挑战冠军的希望。

此外，上次巴萨击败比利亚雷亚尔的比赛让他们重新回到了胜利的道路上。因此，当他们迎来最近几周状态不佳的毕尔巴鄂时，他们将希望保持这种节奏和势头。毕尔巴鄂竞技在这场比赛中已经连续三场比赛未果。尽管他们本赛季迄今为止取得了一些显著的胜利，但他们失去了赛季初展现的势头，在最近几周陷入了干旱期，这种糟糕的状态让他们与东道主失之交手，在这场比赛前他们距离巴塞罗那有7分的差距。

在这场比赛中，我们支持主队再次争取胜利，特别是在上次以一种令人难以置信的方式送走比利亚雷亚尔之后。我们相信巴萨的韧性和标志性的反击足球对客队来说太棘手了，他们在这场比赛中连续7次交锋没有失球。鉴于此，我们支持Xavis的军队再次获得赛点，击败一支早在2019年就在拉利加联赛中从未赢过他们的球队。

双方的关系总是到了关键时刻。然而，我们希望巴塞罗那在诺坎普再次展现出统治力，在比赛结束时确保拿到赛点。
