Why we called it
The champions thrashed Elche 5-0 last time out, Raphinha scoring twice and Fermín López adding a late double, though Flick is missing De Jong and Bardghji and has several World Cup returnees short of rhythm. Athletic under Terzić lost 1-3 at home to Sevilla after Yuri's early red card, and Laporte and Unai Simón sit behind a front line of the Williams brothers and Guruzeta. Barcelona should win at the Camp Nou, but an undercooked side and Athletic's pace on the break make a clean sheet unlikely.
