Sevilla - Athletic Bilbao predictions

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Sevilla on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Athletic Bilbao are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 2.55 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

Having gone level after the first 45 minutes of their last La Liga match, Sevilla pushed their game up a notch after the break and managed to get a hold of a Real Sociedad victory which will be a huge boost for the Sunday clash.

Athletic Bilbao haven’t exactly been playing top of their game lately. Last round’s home draw 1:1 against Mallorca was far from a disaster, but most of us – including the world’s best online bookmakers – expected a lot more considering they played at home.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from The Sevillistas and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Athletic and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 La Liga matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

Identifying the favourite in this match is not difficult and it only takes a look at the 3.03 price offered on Sevilla to conclude hosts will have a tough time getting one step closer to achieving their European dream this season in the La Liga.

Looking at the head-to-head stats between these two squads, we see a tied game from an earlier round. This was a missed opportunity for The Sevillistas, who should have had an easy time earning 3 points in a home game. They’re still the favourites, but their chances of winning the game are smaller than they were in that previous bout.

A Draw No Bet market with Away Win selected is easily the best course of action here. By removing a tie as a possibility, we can feel more confident in the success of the bet, but the 1 odds did not take a big hit.
