THE PREDICTION

Athletic Club, boosted recently by new boss Gaizka Garitano, have a great record against the current top six with one defeat in seven, including a 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp in September. The Basque side have drawn half their games this season, while Barcelona have drawn their last two so a stalemate could well ensue.
