Sevilla-Athletic Bilbao is a match valid for the 19th day of La Liga and is played Thursday at 7:15 pm: TV, lineups and predictions
Just three points behind the Champions League zone, Valverde’s Athletic Bilbao, after Girona, is the team that is doing really well this season. Because it is putting itself behind formations that over the past few years have gained access to Europe’s top competition, and above all because it is showing that it can really take satisfaction, perhaps knocking one of Spain’s big names out of the race for the Europe that counts.
Of course, against Sevilla-which is just three points ahead of the relegation zone-it won’t be easy. Especially for this reason: the Andalusians are in the water and need to take a win. In the meantime, to start 2024 on the right foot – and this is a relative factor anyway – but also and mainly because of a ranking that leaves no one quiet.
Four defeats in the last five outings for the hosts-a really bad number that needs to be reversed somehow. But not on this occasion, because the guests before the Christmas break won against Las Palmas and before that had beaten Atletico. In short, a team in good shape. Who will not lose.
The prediction
A match of at least one goal per team and there is no argument about that. Then, for the finale, a draw is the result that could come out. Also watch out for an outside shot, while we feel like definitely ruling out a possible Sevilla win.
