Barcelona are about to return to Camp Nou. After more than two years of playing away due to stadium renovations, the Culé team will make its home debut next Saturday (22), at 12:15 pm, against Athletic Bilbao. The return comes at a positive moment for Barça as hosts, who maintain a 100% record at home in the Spanish Championship, with five wins in five matches played.
According to the country’s main betting platforms, such as Galerabet, EstrelaBet, Reals, BETesporte, 7K, Vera, Cassino, Casa de Apostas, Luck.bet, GingaBet, Start Bet and 1PRA1, Clube Catalão is the favorite to win, with average odds of 1.44, against 6.50 for Athletic Bilbao and 4.50 for a draw.
The Blaugrana team, in addition to returning home, must count on important returns in the offensive sector. According to Mundo Deportivo, strikers Raphinha and Lamine Yamal could return after recovering from injury. Yamal, who already trained with the group this Wednesday (19), has more chances of being involved. Barça occupies second place in the Spanish Championship, just three points behind leaders Real Madrid.
Athletic Bilbao will also have important returns. The team’s main star, Nico Williams, has been training normally and should be involved, according to the newspaper Sport. Another important return to the team is Oihan Sancet, who has recovered from a minor injury to his biceps femoris and is already training with the group. On the other hand, Iñaki Williams remains a doubt and is carrying out exercises to return. The Basque Country team occupies seventh place in the Spanish Championship, with seventeen points.
