Barcelona has an excellent record against Athletic Bilbao and has won 37 games out of 58 games played between the two sides. Athletic played with Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final and lost that game after extra time 3-2. Bilbao recently played the Copa Del Rey final against Sociedad and lost it and that was a postponed final from last season. Today they will have a chance to win it from the second attempt but I don't think they are capable because of their recent poor form. Bilbao scored only 2 goals in the last 5 games and in the last game they played 0-0 against rock-bottom Alaves. Captain Muniain is an injury doubt for this game and if he is out this will be a big blow for Athletic. The game will be played in Seville and this can be a problem for Bilbao as they are not so convincing when they play away from San Mames. On the other hand, Barcelona will try to win the trophy and boost their morale for the upcoming title showdown. Barcelona is playing good in recent few weeks, they lost El Classico but they had some good games especially against Sociedad away, they won the game 6-1. The changes are made in Barcelona's board and Messi is now for sure staying in the club so everything is back to normal in Barcelona. Bilbao will for sure be more defensive and try to hurt Barcelona from counter-attacks but I think Barcelona is now in a slightly better position as they often face park the bus tactics in La Liga. Barcelona needs this trophy and I think they will be more motivated to achieve victory here. Messi, Dembele and Griezmann should lead Barca's attack and I think Griezmann will score a goal or two here as he likes to play against Bilbao. I expect Barca to dominate the whole game and win this game 1-0 or 2-1.

My prediction: Barcelona to win

巴萨在对阵毕尔巴鄂竞技队的比赛中有着出色的战绩，在双方58场比赛中赢了37场。毕尔巴鄂竞技队在之前西班牙超级杯决赛中与巴塞罗那队比赛，在加时赛中以2：3输掉了比赛。毕尔巴鄂最近在国王杯决赛中输给了皇家社会队，那是上赛季推迟的决赛。今天他们将有机会从第二次尝试中获得冠军，但我不认为他们有能力，因为他们最近的状态很差。毕尔巴鄂在过去的5场比赛中只进了2球，而在上一场比赛中，他们0:0战平了处于最低谷的阿拉维斯。队长穆尼亚因伤不能参加这场比赛，如果他不能上场，这将是对毕尔巴鄂竞技队的一个巨大打击。这场比赛将在塞维利亚举行，这对毕尔巴鄂来说是个问题，因为他们在非主场的比赛中表现得不那么令人信服。另一方面，巴塞罗那将努力赢得奖杯提振士气。巴塞罗那最近几周打得很好，虽然他们输掉了国家德比，但他们也打了一些不错的比赛，特别是客场对阵皇家社会，他们以6-1赢得了比赛。巴塞罗那董事会做出了改变，梅西现在肯定会留在俱乐部，所以巴塞罗那的一切都恢复了正常。毕尔巴鄂肯定会更注重防守，并试图用反击来打击巴萨，但我认为巴萨现在的状态稍好一些，因为他们在西甲经常采取不同技战术。巴塞罗那需要这个奖杯，我认为他们会更有动力在这里取得胜利。梅西、登贝莱和格里兹曼应该是巴萨的首发前锋，我认为格里兹曼会在这里进一两个球，因为他喜欢踢毕尔巴鄂的比赛。我希望巴萨能主宰整场比赛，并以1-0或2-1赢得比赛。

我的预测是:巴塞罗那会赢
