Barcelona will be desperate to get back to winning ways and reclaim top spot on the La Liga table when they face Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou on Tuesday.
Barcelona have been engaged in a see-saw battle for the La Liga title this season with Real Madrid, with the two sides exchanging the top spot all through the season. The latest twist in the tale came this past weekend, as failure to beat Sevilla coupled with Los Blancos‘ 2-1 win over Real Sociedad meant the Catalans have now dropped to second on the table.

Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, have enjoyed a decent 2019/20 campaign in La Liga, with the Basque club in contention to qualify for Europa League, with an outside chance to make it to the Champions League as well.
