Athletic Bilbao v Sevilla predictions and preview: Betting stats

Athletic Bilbao currently sit 13^th in La Liga with 11 points (W3 D2 L5) from their opening 10 games. Their form has been stuttering lately at a record of LWLLW and at home they haven’t been the most consistent of sides. This week they have suffered two narrow home defeats; 2-1 to Getafe in the league and 3-2 to Lyon in the Europa League. Their games have average 3.40 goals but only 6 have seen over 2.5 goals; 4 have had fewer.

Sevilla are 7^th in La Liga with 15 points (W4 D3 L3). Their 3 league defeats have all come in their last 5 games at form of LLWLD and they have seen consecutive defeats away from home to Celta Vigo and Zaragoza. Their games average just 2.30 goals and only 4 have had over 2.5 goals.

Team News and Run of Play

Bilbao will be without Gurpegi, multiples Inigos in the form of Perez and Ruiz and Ekiza also. Sevilla are just without long-term absentees Perrotti and Trochowski.

Athletic have been really poor so far this season and are yet to find any sort of consistency in their form. In Europe they are already eliminated from the Europa League having amassed just 1 point from their opening 4 games and it seems they look destined to not qualify for the competition through their league position this season. They are scoring goals but conceding far too many away from home. Although three clean sheets at home is a good record.

Sevilla have started the season well but have been struggling for consistency of late with a few defeats creeping into their record and this game will be a real test. They have however had a few more days to recover from their last game and no tough midweek game against Lyon.

Athletic Bilbao v Sevilla predictions: 1X2 betting preview

For me this game looks a really tight one to call. Sevilla would probably be content with a draw knowing they have just one away win so far. It seems like Bilbao aren’t scoring many home goals of late and this game will depend on how solid each defence is. But for a match bet you can’t look beyond the value of the draw at a price of 3.54 with Pinnacle.

Well both teams settle? If you think so, bet here.

Athletic Bilbao v Sevilla predictions: Asian Handicap preview

With a tight match market the Asian handicap is (0), the draw no bet market. I think you have to favour the away side slightly here as the outsiders. Sevilla (0) is 2.03 with bet365 and perhaps worth a small bet.

Athletic Bilbao v Sevilla predictions: Total Goals preview

With Bilbao’s last four home games averaging just 1.5 goals and Sevilla’s away games seeing 1.8 per game I can see a 1-1 draw here and therefore the bet is under 2.5 goals at a good value price of 2.00 with Stan James.
