Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao – After Sevilla parted ways with Julen Lopetegui hours after their Champions League loss to Dortmund, they will have a difficult task on their hands when Athletic Bilbao visits for the La Liga match on Saturday.
The former head coach of Spain and Real Madrid enjoyed a successful career at Sevilla after leading the team to fourth place in La Liga the previous year. The Basque coach was replaced by Jorge Sampaoli.
His last tenure with the team had ended in 2016, one year before he received an offer to lead the Argentina national team. Sevilla enters this match with five points from seven games and is currently ranked 17th in the league.
Athletic Bilbao is having a fantastic season and now sits third in the standings with 16 points. The team managed by Ernesto Valverde has a strong scoring and defensive record, thus on Saturday, one must anticipate them to breeze through a jittery home team.
Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao – Betting Analysis
Last season, Sevilla defeated San Mames and Sanchez Pizjuan by identical 1-0 scores in both of their head-to-head La Liga matches. But Bilbao did the same thing the season before, with identical 2-1 scores in both games.
With the sides splitting two victories and a draw from the previous five meetings, it is also quite close when this head-to-head game is played at this venue. The games between these two teams are typically close, and full-time scores are frequently separated by just one goal.
These two are even the betting favourites, but we think the visitors have a good chance of taking home all three points from this match. After losing key players in the summer, Sevilla are severely depleted, and it is too soon to say whether a management change is beneficial.
We’ll also wager on Nico, the younger Williams brother, to score anytime. The 20-year-old scored three goals in a row for the team despite coming off the bench far too frequently.
