On Sunday, 18 May 2025, Barcelona Women host Athletic Bilbao Women in a key Primera División showdown. Kick-off times across Europe are set for 12:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and 11:00 BST in the UK.
This fixture sees the league leaders aiming to maintain their push for the title, while Athletic Bilbao Women will look to secure a strong finish and climb the table. With both sides in solid form, anticipation is high for an entertaining contest at the Johan Cruyff Stadium.
How are both teams coming into this?
Barcelona Women arrive unbeaten in their last ten league games, showcasing a potent attack that has scored over three goals per match on average. Their home form has been particularly impressive, with a string of victories at the Johan Cruyff Stadium giving them confidence heading into this clash.
Athletic Bilbao Women, meanwhile, have enjoyed a stable run in recent matches, losing just once in their last eight outings. They have shown defensive solidity, conceding fewer than one goal per game over that span, and will look to frustrate the hosts before hitting them on the break.
Our forecast
Our pick is a comfortable win for Barcelona Women, who have dominated possession and chances in recent home fixtures. We expect them to control the midfield and create multiple scoring opportunities.
Additionally, with both teams finding the net consistently, the over 3.5 goals market looks appealing. Barcelona’s attacking depth combined with Bilbao’s counter-attacking threat should deliver an open, high-scoring affair.
