On the night of the 23rd, Barcelona hosted Athletic Madrid in a key battle in La Liga. Despite leading the table, Barcelona's recent form has slipped, with no win in the last three matches, and will undoubtedly be more careful when facing Athletic, who have won six consecutive league matches; Athletic are playing away from Luyin, and don't mind adopting a conservative tactic, with four of their last five encounters scoring two goals or fewer, making a 2.5 goal tally the preferred option. (Now 632 Sunday, 10:15 p.m.)
The two teams that have conceded the fewest goals in the league
Barcelona recently lost the Copa del Rey to Real Madrid in a 4-goal comeback, and since then, they drew with Quirona and Athletic Gijon in their two league matches, but fortunately, they have a clear lead in the league, so the impact is not too big. Tonight, they will face Athletic, and I believe that manager Xavi will pay extra attention and ask his players to keep their heads up.
Barcelona have shown superb defense this season, conceding only 9 goals in 29 league matches, and goalkeeper Ter Stegen is on track to break the record for fewest goals conceded in La Liga with 22 shutouts. However, their offense is also having problems, as Roberto Lewandowski has failed to score in 11 of his last 14 matches, and is in a slump, making scoring goals difficult.
Athletic are known for their defense, conceding 21 goals in the league, second only to Barcelona, and despite 9 wins and 2 draws in their last 11 matches, a win at Camp Roux will not be easy, and with the suspensions of Marcos Llorenti and Gan Guise, the game is expected to be more of a stalemate, with a small number of goals being a more secure bet.
