  • Barcelona are missing Ansu Fati, Ronald Araujo, Frenkie de Jong, and Gavi due to injuries.
  • Olmo may debut this weekend, likely as a substitute, while Pedri is expected to play in the number 10 role.
  • Three 17-year-olds started against Valencia and are likely to feature against Athletic.
  • Gundogan is nearing a move back to Manchester City, with Christensen a potential inclusion in the lineup.
  • Álex Padilla returns to goal for Athletic. Unai Simón is out, and Julen Agirrezabala is recovering from a recent injury.
  • Aitor Paredes sidelined due to injury, it is very likely that Dani Vivian will form the central defensive duo alongside Yeray Álvarez.

Prediction

  • Barcelona started their La Liga campaign with a win against Valencia, led by Robert Lewandowski's goals. They face a packed schedule in August, aiming for maximum points before the September break. Real Madrid's dropped points in the opener bode well for their title challenge.
  • Barcelona made two signings this summer but missed out on Nico Williams who will not have a warm welcome from the Barca fans.
  • Athletic drew with Getafe in their first match and will look to perform better against Barcelona. Despite keeping Nico Williams, they saw departures and have made notable signings. Athletic have struggled to beat Barcelona away in La Liga since 2001.
