We’re off to La Liga for today’s best bet as Barcelona look to extend their perfect home record in the league when they play host to Athletic Bilbao.

Barcelona have won all five of their home games in La Liga this season, scoring a total of 16 goals and conceding only twice.

Xavi’s side will be very confident of making it six victories on the trot against Bilbao, who they’ve completely dominated for the better part of two decades.

Indeed, Barcelona have taken 55 of the last 57 points on offer in La Liga meetings between the sides, with their last defeat against Bilbao coming all the way back in 2001.

Bilbao are the only club to have conceded 350 league goals to Barcelona, so history is certainly not on their side heading into this clash.

Barcelona are in great form too, coming into this encounter on the back of a seven-match winning streak in all competitions, scoring 24 goals in the process.

It comes as no surprise we’ll be backing Barcelona to emerge victorious again, adding a bit more value with Over 1.5 goals.

Barcelona have won their last two home games over Bilbao by 4-0 scores, with 20 of their last 21 home triumphs over Bilbao seeing two goals or more.
