Tipster’s Angle

Despite Athletic Bilbao winning both the head-to-head matches last season, Sevilla has been playing some wonderful football this season. They are expected to keep their momentum going by winning this match.

Tip: Sevilla Draw No Bet @ 2.00

Athletic Bilbao has won four matches and Sevilla has won five, with the fifth match ending in a draw. When the head-to-head match was played at San Mames, it was two apiece. Sevilla has won six matches, drawn three matches, and lost two matches in their last 11 games across all competitions. Athletic Bilbao has won two matches, drawn five matches, and lost two matches in their last nine games across all competitions. Sevilla has won two and lost one of their past three away matches, while Bilbao has only won one of their last three home matches. So, a Sevilla victory is a strong possibility, with a draw no bet at 2.00 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.55

Athletic Bilbao has scored under 2.5 goals in seven of their past nine matches in all competitions. Sevilla has scored under 2.5 goals in six of their previous ten matches across all competitions. Furthermore, Athletic Bilbao has had under 2.5 goals in two of their last four home matches, while Sevilla has had under 2.5 goals in three of their last four away matches. Six of the last ten head-to-head meetings have resulted in under 2.5 goals. Two of the last five head-to-head encounters between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid have resulted in under 2.5 goals being scored. As a result, under 2.5 goals could be a feature of this encounter at 1.55 odds from Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Sevilla is as many as eight points behind Real Madrid but also has played a match lesser than Madrid. A win here will inch them closer to the leaders. Athletic Bilbao on the other hand will be looking to break their seven-match winless streak.
