Athletic Bilbao – Sevilla, La Liga Predictions

Bilbao have conceded just 5 goals in the first half in their 17 home games in the league

Sevilla have lost at half-time in just 2 of their 17 away games in the league

✳️ Athletic Bilbao continues to play well

Athletic Bilbao had 3 consecutive victories before their match with Real Madrid in the last round, but lost 0-1 because of a penalty. Definitely Bilbao’s game was on level and they probably didn’t deserve to lose, but against the best even that is not enough sometimes. This loss is by no means fatal for the Basques, who moved away from the top 6, but their only goal by the end of the season is to win the Copa del Rey, in which tournament they are in the final with Real Sociedad.

🙌 Sevilla is worthy of the top 4 this season

Sevilla took a tough but key 1-0 victory over Eibar on Monday. In this way, the Andalusians recorded their second consecutive success and the numerous draws before that are behind them. The 6-point lead four rounds before the end of the league gives them a huge chance to enter the Champions League. Even more impressive for Sevilla is the variety in the game they have.

Two different philosophies meet at Alameda de Mazarredo

 Expert view: Sevilla is a slight favorite because it has serious goals in the league until the end of the season and if it wins today almost 100% will secure entry into the top 4. On the other hand, Athletic a one of the most difficult to beat sides, when they play at home. The style of play of the two teams is different, but in defense they do really solidly. We think that the first half will not be very dynamic and the two teams will not score. Prediction – 1st half – Draw at 1.90.
