Latest football commentary Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla

Athletic Bilbao had a difficult start to the 2024-25 La Liga season, picking up just four points from their first four games. However, the Basque side quickly turned things around, winning three straight games against Las Palmas, Leganes and Celta Vigo.

As a result, Athletic have now amassed 13 points and are fifth in the table, just one point behind Villarreal. Ernesto Valverde's side also kicked off their Europa League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Roma in Italy, with Aitor Parades scoring a late equaliser in a display of fighting spirit.

Athletic Bilbao finished fifth in La Liga last season and they will be hoping to maintain that position this season. However, the big challenge will be balancing their European and domestic commitments.

Sevilla, meanwhile, are out of European competition this season and finished 14th last season, their worst finish in the Spanish top flight since 2000. Sevilla have struggled in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign, with a record of two wins, two draws and three defeats, leaving them in 13th place with eight points. However, Garcia Pimienta's side have shown some positive signs, winning two of their last three games, beating Getafe and Real Valladolid at home, in addition to a 2-1 defeat to Alaves.

Sevilla looked set to share the spoils with Real Valladolid in their last game, but Chidera Ejuke scored the winner in the 85th minute to earn the home side all three points. Although Sevilla lost both of their league games against Athletic last season, they do have a recent 1-0 win at San Mames in April 2023. Athletic are currently brimming with confidence and excitement in La Liga, and we predict they will continue their winning ways in the next game. However, Sevilla are fully capable of causing trouble for their opponents, despite their struggles this season.
