Sevilla – Athletic Bilbao, Prediction – La Liga

💹 Sevilla from nowhere again became a candidate for the title – a serious one

After being eliminated from Copa Del Rey and the Champions League, Sevilla managed to concentrate entirely on their performance in the championship and get the best results from their matches with enough training and good preparation. That is why after the draw with Dortmund, 2-2, in Germany Sevilla recorded 7 wins and 1 draw in La Liga, which led them to be 3 points behind the leader, Atletico, before the round.

⏩ Bilbao with quite bad statistics in their visits

Bilbao had less time to prepare and could be more tired, especially in the second half, after the tough match against Valladolid, which ended 2-2 on Wednesday night. Athletic are doing extremely poorly as a guest in the league and have only two wins away from home as the first came in late September at the start of the season. In addition, in general, Bilbao is not a team in shape and cannot show consistency.

Sevilla should not fail now

 Expert view: Apart from the fatigue at Bilbao, we expect the fact that they have not won a league game at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan for 10 years to be a factor as well. Sevilla, on the other hand, have only three losses at home this season, two of which were against Real Madrid and Barcelona. Given that the Andalusians are quite consistent in their performance and do not show hints of hesitation, we see no reason not to win in this match against a demotivated and fickle team like Athletic. Prediction – Sevilla to win at 1.61.
