FC Sevilla hosts Athletic Bilbao in a La Liga match between two in form teams.
Sevilla is 4 points away from the last Champions League place and needs to win pretty much every home game from now on if they are to stand a chance … home court has been Sevilla’s main asset this season, they have 10 wins and 4 draws … the only undefeated team in La Liga on home soil. Hosts are in good shape with 5 consecutive wins in all competitions (3 of them vs. Villarreal) and have played all out attacking football in these matches: a quick stats analysis will show a 14-5 goal difference in the last 5 games … an average score (win) of 3-1.

Athletic Bilbao has nothing left to fight for in La Liga, they are waiting the Copa del Rey final and trying to keep in shape. Free of any pressure, the visitors are finally showing what they can do … Athletic Club has 6 consecutive wins in La Liga, they managed to even defeat Real Madrid and are coming after a 2-1 win vs. Almeria. The team is playing with more freedom, taking more risks and it is paying off. Visitors will hope to maintain the same level now after the International break.
Both teams are in great form and going for goals lately. They are almost 100% healthy (Cristoforo from Sevilla is the only absentee for both sides). In these conditions an open football game is expected, with a very nice rhythm, a lot of action and goals from both sides. Recent meetings also support this analysis … as we can see, 4 of the last 5 direct matches saw both teams scoring (the only exception earlier this season, 1-0 for Bilbao).
My tip will be both teams to score. Correct score prediction: Sevilla – Athletic Bilbao 2-1.
