Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 away win over Almería last time out in the league. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Almería's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Ernesto Valverde will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Finding the net at home is becoming a problem for them, having been unable to score in 3 of their last 6 matches. Ernesto Valverde will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Iñaki Williams will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Athletic Bilbao.
Sevilla, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 home win over Villarreal in their last league game, Sevilla will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with a 38% share of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Villarreal, who managed 18 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager José Luis Mendilibar will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. It's an excellent time to be in amongst their travelling support, with the team finding the back of the net in 13 of their away league games this season. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 24 of their 30 league matches.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
