Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao Match Preview
Sevilla will welcome Athletic Bilbao in Andalusia as La Liga resumes. There was European action for both clubs in midweek so the public could be witnessing some kind of fatigue in the performance of the players.
Sevilla are usually incredible at home in La Liga, losing only twice so far to Getafe and to Racing Santander surprisingly.
Since suffering a thumping 4-0 defeat in the hands of Barcelona back in mid-January, the Andalusia club have won all of their games but one (against Real Zaragoza).
This positive run includes wins over Valencia and Real Mallorca.
Seating 4th in La Liga standings with 42 points from 23 matches, Sevilla are on the right track to qualify for next season Champions League.
However, they’ll make sure to keep Deportivo and Mallorca below them by defeating 7th placed Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
Bilbao may not possess superstars in their squad but Fernando Llorente is one particular player that can change the course of a game with the help of his team mates in a blink of an eye.
They managed to shock Real Madrid 1-0 and draw 1-1 against Barcelona. What can they do against Sevilla?
Suffer another humiliating against Sevilla like it happened in the first part of La Liga season?
