Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla Prediction: We don't expect a high-scoring game

Prediction for the Primera Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla match which will take place on September 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Basques have 13 points from seven games, with losses to Barcelona and Atletico, a 1:1 draw with Getafe, and wins over Valencia, Las Palmas, Leganes, and Celta in the last round of La Liga. Going into Saturday's eighth-round pool, Athletic are in 6th place, one point behind Mallorca, a team from the Champions League. Athletic played a Europa League match against Roma midweek, ending in a 1:1 draw.

After seven rounds, the southerners have 8 points: two draws against Las Palmas and Mallorca, three defeats against Villarreal, Girona, and Alaves, and wins over Getafe (1:0) and Valladolid (2:1). Sevilla is 13th in the standings ahead of Saturday's eighth round of pool play in the Spanish championship. 

Atletico started the season in a better position than their future opponents, and the Basque side has the pitch factor, which is vital in this fixture. The Basque side won both meetings with Sevilla last season, so we expect the Lions to make it three in a row in Bilbao. We don't expect a high-scoring game, as both teams have had difficult midweek fixtures that have sapped their opponents' energy.
