Barcelona vs Athletic Club Preview

Barcelona and Athletic Club meet at the Alinma Bank Stadium in Jeddah on Wednesday evening for the Spanish Supercoppa semi-final, with the Catalan giants arriving in imperious form. Barcelona’s most recent outing saw them secure a 2-0 away victory at Espanyol on January 3rd, extending their winning streak to five consecutive matches across all competitions. Prior to that triumph, they defeated Villarreal 2-0 away on December 21st and CD Guadalajara 2-0 away in the Copa del Rey on December 16th. Earlier in this sequence, they claimed a 2-0 home win over Osasuna on December 13th and edged Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 at home in the Champions League on December 9th. This flawless run has seen them score in every match while maintaining defensive solidity.

Athletic Club arrive in Saudi Arabia in contrasting form, having drawn 1-1 away at Osasuna in their most recent match on January 3rd. In their previous outing, they suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Espanyol on December 22nd, a result that dented their confidence heading into this prestigious cup encounter. Before that setback, they secured a 1-0 away win at Ourense CF in the Copa del Rey on December 18th. Earlier in this sequence, they lost 2-0 away at Celta Vigo on December 14th and drew 0-0 at home with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on December 10th. With just one win from their last five matches, they face an uphill battle against the in-form Catalans.

The head-to-head record overwhelmingly favours Barcelona, who have won four of the last five meetings with one draw. Most recently, Barcelona demolished Athletic Club 4-0 at home on November 22nd, 2025. They also won 3-0 away at San Mamés in May 2025 and claimed a 2-0 away victory in the Spanish Supercopa in January 2025. Barcelona also won 2-1 at home in August 2024, while the only match not won by Barcelona was a 0-0 draw away at Athletic Club in March 2024.
