ATH vs BAR Dream11 Prediction for Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona Copa del Rey Live Score Fantasy Football Tips & Dream11 Team

ATH vs BAR Dream11: Atheltic Bilbao will be up against Barcelona for the forthcoming Round of 16 Copa del Rey fixture. Athletico Bilbao was left heartbroken after they got beaten 2-0 in the Spanish Super Cup Final but will take plenty of inspiration from it. As for Barcelona, they got beat to Los Blancos in the semi-finals of the Super Cup, and aren’t doing too well in La Liga either. The Catalans are sixth with 32 points and will be desperate for a change in fortunes heading forward. Xavi and his men will be keen on going the distance in the cup competition, but it’s not going to be an easy task against a spirited Athletic Bilbao by any means. That being said, here is the ATH vs BAR Dream11 Prediction for the upcoming contest.
