Barca favourites for the win
Barca head into the 2019/20 campaign on a high, having greatly strengthened their squad in the summer. It means expectations must follow and Lionel Messi and co. have been set a difficult challenge. Barca must first and foremost win La Liga again this term, while also pushing for Champions League glory.

That will be tough, with teams in England, Italy and Germany also strengthening over the summer transfer window. Yet Barca are 1.45 to win La Liga and 7.00 to lift the Champions League trophy, so football betting fans clearly think they’re in with a chance of the double.
Barca start off against Bilbao and are 1.74 to claim victory on Friday night. They have enjoyed a strong pre-season and head into the clash having beaten Napoli in back-to-back friendlies.
Bilbao 4.75 to win
It’s tough to look at the football live stream and betting odds and not think Barca will win this game. But then again, Bilbao are at home and could catch the visitors off guard. Bilbao enjoyed a reasonable summer, beating West Ham and drawing with Roma in their most high-profile friendlies. Nor did they lose any valuable players in the transfer market.

It means Bilbao will be very much the same team as last season. And that is good news for their fans. Bilbao earned draws both home and away against Barca last season — so there is a very real possibility of that occurring again. Indeed, the draw is priced at 3.80, which is a reasonable price.
Barca could plunder San Mames Stadium
Of course, while a draw is possible, the attention of many football betting fans will be on Barca’s strike force. They aded to it with the acquisition of Antoine Griezmann over the summer. The France international should fit in well with Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele. There is also the addition of Frenkie de Jong in midfield, making this is scary-looking team for any opponent.

Barca have often been restricted by Bilbao. They have not scored over three goals against the Basque side since January 2016 — a whole 10 games ago. That is an impressive record in Spanish football, where most teams wilt to the likes of Barca every season or so.
Barca are 25.00 to win this match 4-0, which is actually not a bad price considering their strike force. But a better option may be 3-1 to Barca at 12.00.
