Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAny Athletic Bilbao pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 away defeat by Celta Vigo. During that encounter they had 47% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from Lehoiak, although undefeated in their last 17 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Iñaki Williams will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Athletic Bilbao.
Sevilla, Recent FormThe Sevilla players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Cadiz recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Cadiz had 19 shots on goal with 7 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Sevilla recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
On an individual basis, Youssef En-Nesyri will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Sevilla's last 6 league games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-2 win for Athletic Bilbao.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The Estadio San Mamés, Athletic have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. From their past 4 away matches in the league against Athletic, Sevillistas have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going.
Athletic has a poor track record in the league when they host Sevilla, losing in their last 2 home games.
Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Gorka Guruzeta (Appendicitis), Iker Muniain (Muscle), Oihan Sancet (Hamstring) and Nico Williams (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Sevilla have been plagued by a number of long term injury problems with Nemanja Gudelj (Meniscus), Djibril Sow (Finger) and Óliver Torres (Shoulder) all being out for the rest of the season. Érik Lamela (Knee) is also unavailable for Sevillistas so manager Quique Sánchez Flores will be hoping no more of his players pick up a knock in this fixture.
