BAR vs ATH Dream11 Tips for La Liga Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao 1 February

BAR vs ATH Dream11: Barcelona will be looking to keep up with league leaders Atletico Madrid and second-placed Real Madrid when they face a tricky task of overcoming Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou on Sunday. Barcelona’s 2-1 victory in midweek over second division Rayo Vallecano, after going a goal down, was almost an entire embodiment of their season so far. Bad performance, potentially frightening result, over-reliance on De Jong and Messi, getting away with it just, unclear how or how long it will last. Off-field drama has matched on-pitch inadequacy but they can never be ruled out of collecting results. They come up against an Athletic side who’s improvement under Marcelino has been remarkable.
