Barcelona started their league campaign with a dominant 5-0 away win over Elche. Their attacking display was not only efficient but also showed a remarkable spread of goalscorers. Raphinha had an outstanding performance, contributing two goals and one assist. Fermin Lopez scored twice, while new signing Olmo had a decent debut with a rating of 6.5. Ademi netted his first goal, and substitute Gordon provided two assists. On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao suffered a 1-3 home defeat to Sevilla in their opening game. They currently sit at the bottom of the league table with zero points. In their last four matches across all competitions, they've lost every game, scoring only three goals in total, which means they haven't even managed an average of one goal per game. Their away form is equally disappointing, having lost their last three away fixtures, indicating poor performance in away matches.

Barcelona often deploys a 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper is Peña, with Kubasi and Iñigo Martínez as center-backs. In the midfield, Pedri and Fermin are in charge of organization and advancement. Raphinha and Yamal are on the wings, while Olmo takes on the task of frontline attacking. The absence of Frenkie de Jong and Gavi affects the depth of midfield rotation.

Barcelona's recent offensive and defensive performances have shown a sharp contrast. In their away game, they thrashed Elche 5 - 0, with a 3 - 1 advantage in corner kicks. In the Joan Gamper Trophy, they defeated Al Ahly 2 - 1 at home, leading 2 - 0 at half - time. In another away game, they beat Basel 5 - 2 and dominated in corner kicks 7 - 1. In the last three games, their attack has been on fire, scoring a total of 12 goals.

Also, while they won 4 - 1 at home against CE Europa, the 0 - 0 corner - kick statistic shows their control efficiency. But in the away game against Birmingham, a 2 - 2 draw raised doubts about the stability of their defense. On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao has been in poor form on the road recently. They lost 1 - 3 at home to Sevilla, being outnumbered 10 - 3 in corner kicks. In the away game against Zaragoza, they were defeated 0 - 3, and
