Athletic Club vs Sevilla Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts have won double the number of league games than their visitors.

Athletic Club Bilbao will take to the field with a home clash against Sevilla this weekend. The home side have enjoyed a great run of form so far this season and will be keen to build upon the momentum. The Lions have been solid at the back and very lethal up front. With four wins, one draw and two losses, they find themselves in the sixth spot on the LaLiga standings.

Sevilla on the other hand have had a completely opposite season when compared to their counterparts. They have failed to put themselves together and get points on the board. Moreover, inconsistency coupled with injuries to key players has not helped their cause either. With two wins, two draws and three losses, they are ranked 13th on the table.

Players to watch 

Nico Williams (Athletic Club)

The Spanish wonderkid is expected to return to the starting XI for Bilbao after being out of action due to an injury. He will boast the attacking lineup and will look to cause problems for Sevilla come Sunday. Williams is known for his pace, versatility and dribbling abilities. Although he is yet to score a goal this season, he will have a crucial role to play against Sevilla.

Dodi Lukebakiocv (Sevilla)

The Belgian forward has been Sevilla’s best player so far this season. He has found the back of the net twice and is their top scorer. His pace coupled with his technical abilities make him a dangerous opponent to play against. The 27-year-old primarily operates as a right winger, but can also slot in as a left winger.
