Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla Prediction: Expecting Cautious Playing

Prediction for the La Liga Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla match, which will take place on April 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After leaving the Copa del Rey Osasuna, Athletic has achieved three wins in La Liga, which markedly improved their tournament placing. Before Wednesday, Athletic is seventh in the championship standings; they have 46 points, nine behind Real Sociedad from the UCL. Betis, located in the UEL, is three points ahead of the hosts. Atletico's home statistics are 11th in the division, +7=3-5, 20:11 goal difference.

Sevilla is unbeaten for six matches, getting four wins with two draws in two tournaments. The Sevillians knocked Manchester United out of the Europa League, drew with Celta in La Liga, and defeated Cadiz, Valencia, and Villarreal. Such statistics let them rise to 12th place in the standings. So they should retain the elite place for next season. However, the density at the bottom of the standings is high, and so far, nothing says that Sevilla will keep it. Sevilla's away statistics are 10th in the division, +4=4-7, 17:26 goal difference.

Athletic completely focuses on La Liga after losing in the Copa semifinals. The main tournament for Sevilla is the Europa League, where they reached the semifinals and will play against Juventus. The first game will be in May. So before clashing with the Italians, securing a place in the elite is essential, not to be distracted by the national championship. Sevilla has had excellent results in recent years. Their lineup is not weaker than the Basques' and probably even stronger. So bookmakers slightly overestimate Athletic. We will not be surprised if the match will end in a draw.
