Athletic Club vs Sevilla Prediction

Athletic Club Form

Judging by their last three matches, we can expect a bit of everything from Athletic Club at the moment. Against Getafe, they came out on top in a 0-2 win, before drawing 2-2 against Osasuna. Most recently, they were left reeling in a 2-1 defeat against Celta Vigo. Athletic Club only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent La Liga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew four and lost zero, as they scored nine and conceded six goals.

Sevilla won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the La Liga. The scoreline from these matches says seven goals conceded and eight scored.

Sevilla were hoping to qualify for Europe, but this target looks increasingly difficult to reach, as we are reaching the business end of the season.

Athletic Club scored 34 goals and conceded nine in their last 18 games against teams from the bottom half of the La Liga table. They collected 39 points and 11 victories. Sevilla fought their way to one wins and six points from their last ten games against teams inside the top six. They were on target six times in these matches, but also let in 15 goals.
