ATH vs BAR Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Barcelona will look for another win as they take on a resurgent Athletic Bilbao in the La Liga match at San Mamés Stadium, in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain, on Sunday night (IST).

For a club of Athletic Bilbao’s size, a 16th-place finish was definitely one of the lowest points of this club’s recent history. In fact, Bilbao are used to playing in Europa having finished fourth, seventh, fifth and seventh in their four seasons between 2013 and 2017.

The San Mames based side appointed Eduardo Berizzo as their new head coach in the summer with the hope of starting things afresh.

But the move didn’t materialize as Bilbao flirted with the relegation and Berizzo was eventually relieved of his duty in December.

Gaizka Garitano is at the helm now and it’s clear that Los Leones have made progress under him. Four of Bilbao’s four wins have come under him, and that too since December.

Inaki Williams has been phenomenal of late and was rightly judged as La Liga’s January player of the month.

Barcelona meanwhile are leading the table ahead of their eternal rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

Last time around, the reigning Spanish Champions had to settle for a 2-2 draw at home against Valecnia.
