ℹ️ Team News: Sevilla

In our view, Sevillistas will probably line up in a 4-2-3-1 system this time and select O. Haaskjold Nyland, Jose Angel Carmona, Loic Bade, Nemanja Gudelj, Adria Pedrosa, Lucien Agoume, Djibril Sow, Dodi Lukebakio, Saul Niguez, Chidera Ejuke and Isaac Romero.

📰 Team News: Athletic Bilbao

Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there’s just a single fitness problem for the Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde to contend with. Oihan Sancet (Hamstring injury) misses out for this game.

There’s a good chance that Los Leones seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Unai Simon, Andoni Gorosabel, Unai Nunez, Yeray Alvarez, Inigo Lekue, Mikel Vesga, Benat Prados, Inaki Williams, Unai Gomez, Alex Berenguer and Gorka Guruzeta.

💭 Prediction

We feel that Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla could well end up finding themselves level here, with both teams capable of netting.

It could well end in a draw. That’s why our selection here is for a very even match with a 1-1 scoreline at the end of the 90.
