Best Tip: Barcelona to win

It looks like we could well have a dominant side in this fixture, and it's Barcelona. Their recent form stats show they're capable on home turf, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they can get the job done against A.Bilbao too. The odds point towards Hans-Dieter Flick's side coming out on top in the win / draw / win market, and that's our strong prediction for Saturday afternoon too.
