Barcelona welcome Athletic Club to Camp Nou on Sunday evening in La Liga as Xavi Hernandez's men look to continue their recent impressive form.

Thursday night saw the Blaugrana record a 4-2 win against Napoli in the Europa League, while in recent weeks in La Liga they have beaten Atletico Madrid 4-2 and Valencia 4-1 to move into fourth place.

Barcelona vs Athletic Club latest odds

Barcelona are offered at 3/5 (1.60) with bet365 to record what would be their eighth home league win of the season, while Athletic Club can be backed at 17/4 (5.25).

The Basques have only lost two games on the road this term, although they have drawn eight matches away from home - the highest number in the division.

Another stalemate can be backed at 16/5 (5.20).

Barcelona vs Athletic Club first goalscorer

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been in strong scoring form since joining from Arsenal and the former Gunners captain is available at 3/1 (4.00) to break the deadlock on Sunday.

Elsewhere for the Catalans, Luuk de Jong and Ferran Torres are both offered at 9/2 (5.50) with Ousmane Dembele at 5/1 (6.00).

For the Basques, Inaki Williams is offered at 8/1 (9.00) with Raul Garcia at 9/1 (10.00).

Barcelona vs Athletic Club preview

These two sides have already met twice this season with their league clash in Bilbao finishing 1-1, while their Copa del Rey encounter saw Athletic triumph 3-2 after extra time.

Both of those matches took place in the Basques' home stadium of San Mames, where they often claim notable scalps.

At Camp Nou, Athletic's record is more modest with the Bilbao outfit failing to win away to Barcelona since 2001.

The Basques are always a competitive side, but with Barca hitting their stride and scoring plenty of goals there is likely to be plenty of interest in backing a home win.

Barcelona vs Athletic Club tips & predictions

The Blaugrana have kept just three clean sheets in 19 matches under Xavi Hernandez and both teams to score looks appealing at 19/20 (1.95).

Combining this selection with over 2.5 goals sees the odds rise to 11/8 (2.38) while backing Barca to win but concede is priced at 13/5 (3.60).
