Ath Bilbao vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
Despite the brilliant victory of Monday in Balaidos against a Celta very lost in attack without Iago Aspas (1-2), the situation of the Bilbao (along with Barça and Real the only 3 clubs that have ever descended from 1st) follows being tough in league.
That victory has taken him out of relegation positions and has endorsed the “package” to Villarreal. But the situation continues to be worrisome and invites us to think that the “lions” prevail in the league competition and rest some of their holders in Cup.
In principle they play in this eliminatory about 1/4 of end cuprers, something much less important than in league where the permanence is played.
The Bilbao are now 17th with 19 points, by 17 points of 18th (Villarreal), 16th of 19th (Rayo Vallecano) and 11th of 20th (Huesca).
Obviously having a Villarreal in the back of the head who is expected to fight for European positions is a matter of concern. More taking into account that to close the 1st round the Bilbao has to receive precisely the Sevilla (3rd place) the next day and visit in the last Estadi de la Ceramica del Villarreal precisely.
He has for this meeting Bilbao the safe losses of Iñiko Lekue and Mikel Rico, and it will also be doubtful the participation of the two players who retired in Balaidos by two overloads, Iñaki Williams and Dani García.
In short, the Bilbao of this season, where by the way Aritz Adúriz scored in San Mamés against Valladolid 2 days after almost 2 years without scoring at home in the league, is a team with very little goal.
In the league, he scored the goal-scoring average per game: 18 goals in 18 games and 9 of them in his 9 matches in San Mamés.
They receive a Sevilla 3o in the league, with 14 points more than Bilbao, and that chained 9 league matches in a row without losing after drawing this weekend at home against the 2nd, Simeone’s Atlético de Madrid.
A Sevilla FC that we do not forget in this century is the 2nd team that has better performed in Copa del Rey after the intractable FC Barcelona, champion of the last 4 editions.
Concretely the hispalenses have played this follow the end of 2007 (won), 2010 (won), 2016 (lost) and 2018 (lost).
