1st half: over 1.5 in total
Athletic have had a great run recently. He scored 4 victories in 5 rounds, including defeating his main rival Real Sociedad (2: 1). True, the other opponents were from the lower half of the table.
Despite this, the 13 points scored restored the club’s hopes for European competition. After 30 rounds, he is in 7th place, 1 point behind the top six. A characteristic feature of Ernesto Valverde’s team is effective play in the opponent’s transition phases.
The key defensive midfielder Mikel Vesga will not help the Lions in the upcoming match.
Sevilla have changed a lot since the arrival of new coach Jose Luis Mendilibar. Under his leadership, they scored 10 points out of a possible 12 in the Example and overtook Manchester United (2: 2, 3: 0) in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. The Spanish tactician puts crazy pressure on the white-and-reds, which consumes a lot of energy. For this reason, in the last matchday against Villarreal (2: 1) a deep rotation was carried out, but even that did not prevent the team from achieving success, which, however, was quite lucky.
In this meeting, Sevilla will have a main starting line-up from the first minutes, which will once again put aggressive pressure with big forces. Athletic play great in space, which should be a lot in this match. I suppose the first half will be very productive and bright.
