The Catalan giants are finally returning to their iconic stadium after an absence of more than two years, marking a historic moment for the club and its fans.

Barcelona will step into the Camp Nou for the first time in 909 days, having spent the entire 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons at the Luis Kompanis Olympic Stadium during a major renovation project. Progress on the renovations has been slower than expected, and even now the stadium is opening with a limited capacity of 45,000, less than half of the expected full capacity of 105,000 when the project is complete.

Hansi Flick’s side return home second in the table with 28 points, three points behind Real Madrid. With nine wins, one draw and two defeats, the Blue Garnets have scored the most goals in the league (32) but have also conceded 15, with defensive instability continuing to be a concern. Barcelona have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 matches, with their last clean sheet coming in September against Getafe. Despite this, Flick’s side have lost just one of their last five matches in all competitions and come into this encounter on the back of a thrilling 4-2 win over Celta.

Historically, Barcelona have a significant advantage in this matchup, having won the last three meetings. In total, the Basques have won only twice in the last ten matches, and both times it was in the Copa del Rey after extra time.

Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, are seventh in La Liga with five wins, two draws and five losses (17 points). Ernesto Valverde’s side avoided a fourth straight defeat last weekend with a narrow 1-0 win over Real Oviedo, but their form in the league has been shaky overall. The Basques have scored six goals in their last five matches, keeping just one clean sheet in that period. They will come without their own fans as Barcelona have banned away fans for security reasons. With eight points adrift of the top four, Atlético understand they cannot afford too many more setbacks if they want to challenge for the European Cup.

According to the version betting you can bet on a Barcelona win with odds of 1.44, while the potential success of Athletic Bilbao is estimated at 7.00. The probability of a draw is represented by a coefficient of 5.20.

Estimated compositions Barcelona: J. Garcia — E. Garcia, Araujo, Kubarsi, Balde — Casado, Olmo, Lopez — Yamal, Lewandowski, Rashford.

Athletic Bilbao: Simon — Berchiche, Laporte, Vivian, Gorosabel — Gauregizar, Ruiz de Galarreta — N. Williams, Sanchez, Berenger — Guruseta.

They won’t play: ter Stegen, Pedri (Barcelona) — I. Williams, Egilus, Sannadi, Prados, Alvarez (suspension) (Athletic Bilbao).

In question: Casado (Barcelona) — Sunset (Athletic Bilbao).
