Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla Prediction – La Liga

The visitors begin this season following a disappointing 16th place finish last year. Sevilla is generally less influenced by the home advantage, demonstrating similar outcomes whether at home or away. In their last 30 matches, they recorded 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses as guests, netting 19 goals while conceding 23. On their own ground, they managed 3 wins, 8 draws, and 4 losses, scoring 15 goals and conceding 19. They come into this match from a 1-1 draw against Toulouse away. Over their last 10 matches in all competitions, Sevilla managed 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses. The defence has been leaky, allowing goals in 8 of the last 10 games, signalling a need for improvement, although their attack, capable of finding the net in 9 of those games, shows promise. In 15 matches, they were unable to recover from conceding first in 8.

Sevilla comes into this fixture off the back of a 1-1 draw, with their lone goal against Toulouse scored by Dodi Lukébakio. The visiting side typically employs a 4-3-3 formation, favouring rapid transitions and wing play. In this setup, the front three—Dodi Lukébakio, Isaac Romero, and Akor Adams—create significant pressure on opposing defences. Midfielder Djibril Sow orchestrates their offensive pushes. The squad will be without several players due to injury, including Joan Jordan, Rubén Vargas, Chidera Ejuke, Tanguy Nianzou, Loïc Badé, Stanis Idumbo, and Ramón Martínez.
