La Liga returned last week and we will have a very interesting game when FC Barcelona hosts Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday. There were many safety protocols in place, just like the Bundesliga had.
For example, La Liga games are played behind closed doors and each team had five substitutions. The competition resumed after it was postponed on March 12th because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
FC Barcelona is in first place with 65 points in 30 games while Athletic Bilbao is ninth with 42 points in 30 games. FC Barcelona is coming off a 0-0 road draw against Sevilla on Friday while Athletic Bilbao beat Real Betis 1-0 at home last Saturday.
Let’s take a closer look at where the value is at in this matchup.
